Default Holidays coming up!

I was thinking we should plan something special for Christmas this year.

Maybe a nice restaurant or a holiday buffet? If we plan now we can do something fun.

Oak Bay Marina puts on a good brunch...any other suggestions?

I think a holiday brunch is a great idea.... On a Sunday perhaps? Can't do a Saturday.

So when? early December?

J J Morgans does a pretty good Sunday brunch buffet, although lots of things that don't fit with a strict low-carb WOE. Still, enough acceptable options to fill you up - at least there were last time I went (I think it was Mother's Day). Not sure if they do anything special in December but I would bet they do!

PS -- I love the idea of a special Holiday get-together where we maybe blow the budget!!!

I don't even own a pair of high heels anymore - not even any dress shoes! Just my golf shoes - are soft spikes acceptable?

Next question - just the girls or guys too?

I think anybody and everybody who'd like to join us!

Too bad the Empress shut down their buffet. It was the BOMB!
