On Christmas Eve we feasted on oysters and duck, then we watched a very strange movie called
The Hogfather--Stanley Kubrik meets Harry Potter. Ules loved it. The cast is quite good, but the show needed better editing (in the writing and images) and stronger directing. The art direction is excellent. I did like the theme: humans need imaginary figures to believe in because it is a part of an evolving mythology and spirituality that makes us whole. It seems appropriate for our son't first post-Santa Christmas. Yep, he's figured it out.
Everyone rose early to open their stockings and presents. This year the theme was
books and board games with
Make and
Craft magazine publications playing a major role.
We listened to CBC radio all morning, and the whole of Handel's
Messiah. I made chick pea flour pancakes, which we ate with Peter's scrambled eggs and an almond and olive spread I love called "Scarpetti". We nibbled on Christmas oranges, shortbread, and chocolate and pored over our treasures.
