25 Days of Christmas, Day 25

Kismet

After lunch and exchanging gifts, my family played a couple of games, including Kismet. This is the same set we played when I was a kid. (I think it was made in 1973...) It's seen a lot of use!

We went into our little town this night to get a pizza and take a walk through the tiny park the city decorated with Christmas lights. These two oaks wrapped up together in blue lights were my favorite part of the display.

These are chewy peppermints (sold as "Christmas Nougats"). We're on our second bag of them for the season. They taste like Christmas.

On Saturday, Donald made this year's Lucia "cats" (or buns). The initial samples were promising, but I think further testing is required. ;o) Hey, somebody has to do it!
