Christmas in Calgary, Canada


Friends Rob and Nat stayed on at Fairmont for Xmas, but very generously let us stay on at their house in Calgary for the rest of our trip. Christmas Eve we went snowshoeing/cross-country skiing with Martin's friends Jeff and Alana, and Stella and Steve, Jeff's parents. It was great to see them all after so long. We spent a quiet Christmas Day mostly watching my absolute, favourite movie - Elf (I always laugh my socks off at his first time up the escalator), and on the phone to our families in England, Toronto, and Mexico. Where would we be without Skype!

Later that evening, Martin's friend Mark Nielsen (also Jeff's brother) flew into town from Toronto, with Cathy and her son Nathan. We spent the evening goofing around at Jeff and Alana's. Mark decided that Martin's hair (being quite long for him) looked like Sonny Bono. Then, out came the burnt cork and a new moustache!! It all went from there!
