Family, and fu

We invited my dad over for Christmas Eve. This usually works out well because when he was a kid, they opened all their presents on Xmas Eve. Christmas was... I guess for eating and watching football? Never understood that. Anyway, this is a nod to his family tradition and this way the wife and I get a quiet day to ourselves. (We meet my mother for dim sum on Boxing Day.)

...My dad never showed up. He called me this morning because he realized he thought he was coming over today. That's okay dad, we put the chile-wrapped lamb roast in the fridge and we can reheat it today. We had emergency Indian pouch food for dinner last night... which was okay, but wasn't exactly the stuff of holiday legend. Story fodder I guess.
