It all started with a mother's desire to have a physical "Christmas" with her babies - before we head out. This new tradition is known as "Novmas". Same tired old plastic tree, same lovely "Mimosas in the morning" reward. Same fabulous shopping and organization efforts by Norene, excellent cooking by Chef Rob (with a skilled assist by Jeremy) and an encore of mediocre photos by Glenn (click here for proof).
Since we were already celebrating Christmas early why not throw in another birthday? Will turns 9 in December so the perfect end to NovMas dinner turned out to be Will's favourite ice cream cake. Now we're up to NovBirth(day)mas.
Trish & Dave, Pete & Sue and Stan & Sue were scheduled to drop by for a drink after they went to the NWBUC turkey dinner. Turns out Trish & Dave just got married (sly devils didn't want a big fuss so hardly anyone knew) so we drank a toast to their newly wedded status (couldn't keep their hands off each other!) so we threw in the "Wed(ding)" to complete a new time honored tradition now fondly known as NovBirthWedMas.
We plan to hold NovBirthWedMas every year about this time (early November). Should work pretty well since mom will still want her Christmas and Will should still want another birthday. Not sure who's getting married tho'
