We had a quiet Christmas eve with presents...
...beef bourguignon, brandy alexanders...
... a fake dog, and a big screen HD yule long.
Then, on a crisp, cool, Christmas day, it was "Over The Bridge And Through The Vineyards" to visit our dog friends in Sonoma and their valets.
More Christmas cheer, more food and drink, real dogs, and a real fire in a real fireplace. We were pleased to meet Chris and his dog.
This is the only dog we've ever met who is a riddle, named after a riddle, and the answer to a riddle. Here is the riddle:
"A man and his dog approach a bridge. The man goes over the bridge yet goes under it. How is that possible?"
While you are working on that - more pictures from a fine night and couple of days of great food, drink, and friendship,

| An exquisite setting - almost too pretty to sully with food... Almost. |
