Christmas was quiet for us. We opened a few presents and spent the day trying to phone family. The Resort put on a very nice Christmas dinner (although the meat was prime rib :-) ) and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 198 people were served which is to say that there were a lot of people staying here over Christmas instead of going home.
We've been to see a couple of movies in the last few days - first we saw 'It's Complicated' with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin; that was a pretty good movie - and then we went to 'Avatar' with our friends Art and Linda. I really liked that movie. The others thought it was pretty good. I thought it was awesome, but then it is quite up my alley as a sci-fi fantasy reader. I think I'd go to see it again for sure.
Yesterday a few of us decided to go out on a hike to try to find an arch at the top end of a canyon. Even though we didn't find the arch we still enjoyed the hike. I think everyone was pretty tired after this hike. It was 7.3 miles round trip and we had a bit of climbing to do while climbing up the canyon. After we got back we sat around in the motorhome of our hike leader, and enjoyed a nice glass of wine, some snacks, and of course, fellowship. I needed to spend a few minutes in the hot tub later in the evening to relax sore muscles :-).
