The morning of Christmas Eve day we headed out to Topanga Canyon and went for a lovely hike. When we reached a rocky peak somewhere in the middle of the canyon, you could see the Pacific Pallisades out toward the west, and just past the community could be seen the Pacific Ocean. We had a little snack of cheese, crackers and grapes while basking in the beauty of the sunlit colors surrounding us, and eventually headed back down. On returning to the homestead, I started baking and decorating the Christmas cookies, which later became a project for all three of us after the other two finished working. That evening, my son made an amazing dinner of brown sugar glazed salmon and twice baked potatoes! I am not always a fan of how Salmon is prepared, but I really really enjoyed this dinner. After eating, we sang Christmas songs together with an acoustic guitar. Having sung the complete repetoire of common Christmas carols, we watched the Grinch and It's a Wonderful Life. Time is moving too fast, but tomorrow is Christmas. A day for presents and a dinner party with long time friends!
