A lovely Boxing Day

We didn't go bargain shopping.  We were invited to Wayne and Chris's for brunch!  They are gracious hosts and live close by.  We were joined with Richard, Brad, Maria, Nik, Christine and Anita.
Chris was born in the UK and said every Christmas she makes Scotch Eggs.  We've never eaten them but thoroughly enjoyed them.  She had homemade chutney and mustard to enhance the flavor!

The Eggs Benedict were delicious!
The potatoes were excellent
Wayne and Chris gave these spices to Nik!
Then if the day wasn't already great, we went home and scratched our Christmas Scratch and Win's given to us from Cheryl and Dave!  I love to BC Lotto app, because if you aren't sure what you won, you scan the ticket, the music plays and it shows your winnings!

In total we won $100.00 and one free ticket.  Cheryl and Dave won $153.00 and three free tickets!  A few years ago Dave's cousin won $22,000 on Christmas day on a scratch ticket his parents put in his Christmas stocking!  He was in Grade 12 and underage so his parents cashed it in for him.  We've always bought them at Christmas as it's always fun to scratch!  We buy lotto tickets sporadically but only buy scratches at Christmas.  When my mom was at Christmas dinner she would put a scratch at everyone's place.  Note to anyone, if you scratch BC Lottery tickets on a white tablecloth the scratch waste will ruin your tablecloth.  I never told my mom but asked everyone to scratch elsewhere in other years.

Let's hope Environment Canada are wrong and it doesn't SNOW tonight!  I need a cruise!

Merry Shipmass

 From our house to yours, Merry Christmas!
