> [@Spoons](#): > > Luka Magnotta found guilty. See [here](http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/magnotta-found-guilty-of-first-degree-murder-1.2159607). So, not crazy, just a murderous son of a bitch. In other news, the sour cream cookies are out of the oven, and waiting to cool off before frosting! Christmas Eve day is putting right along. 🙂 ---

Dammit, I have been trying to find a Christmas cookie recipe for Sugar cookies with icing. It’s not royal icing, or the regular icing sugar drizzle, it’s similar to a buttercream, but it doesn’t stay sticky - dies that make sense? Sigh. I thought I had it, but no. ---

Hope all CanaDopers had a great Christmas! I headed down to Waterton National Park today. The town shuts down for winter, and I didn’t expect any services to be working. But it slept under a blanket of snow, and looked beautiful. There were some deer in the townsite, and the mountains were showing off their plumes of snow. Next time, I’ll take a camera. Anyway, hope everybody had a great Christmas! ---

Mine was pretty good. Still feeling the effects of eating WAY more than I am used to when I went to friends for dinner. They were foolish enough to park a large bowl of nacho chips and salsa (is that the right word? chunky tomato stuff that you dunk the chips into) in front of me because dinner wasn’t quite ready. Totally pigged out on those and then totally pigged out on dinner. Happy Boxing Day! ---

Fun Christmas dinner yesterday with the neighbours. Had to work today, but heading out the door to go skiing this evening. Life is good. Enjoy your season, folks. 🙂 ---

Anyone else following the juniors? It’s always great hockey, and a glimpse of who the next NHL stars will be. 8-0 over Slovakia today. Again, great hockey. ---

> [@Poysyn](#): > > Yes. :). Please send? Sorry, Christmas got in the way. I looked up a buttercream icing recipe, and mine is simply that. I’m not sure why mine hardens on the cookies, but other buttercreams don’t - less milk/cream, maybe? ---

For the second year in a row, **Cat Whisperer** has the greatest number of posts in the Café (224), narrowly edging **Leaffan** at 213. **Cat** , are you going to do the honours of starting the 2015 thread? (Unless Leaffan goes into a flurry of posts today 😃 ) ---

(Unless Leaffan goes into a flurry of posts today 😃 ) WooHoo! Go me! I certainly can do that. We’re planning a Battlestar Galactica marathon for New Year’s Eve and Day; maybe it will be a BSG-themed thread this year. 🙂 ---
