Had a bite to eat, and then went to see The Interrupters, a really great documentary about Ceasefire, and the work of its "violence interrupters". Watch the trailer and learn more here.

Then on Sunday I went up north to Margaret's for the XYZ dinner, and, as always, we exchanged gifts. M. made a turkey, and the rest of us brought a variety of side dishes. I ate too much again, and came home with leftovers. Among other things, I received a book which has been added to my holiday pop-up display:
