Made an actual pot of coffee for breakfast, er, whatever the heck that was I ate at noon. Had some Caramelo beans I bought at The Second Cup (Canadian gourmet coffee chain) and ground them and brewed in a Bodum Santos vacuum pot. As the only coffee-drinker in the household I was thinking of selling off the pot, but am glad I kept it.
"Breakfast" consisted of a couple of mushroom/leek tarts, a piece of orange cake, and mass quantities of chocolate. And yes, chocolate for breakfast is a for-real Christmas tradition around here.
Duck is now slow-roasting in the oven, almost done the first hour and ready for the first bit of rendered fat to be poured off. When I get downstairs I'll get the yam cut up and ready for cooking, and start the cranberry sauce. Stuffing will have to wait till I have some nice drippings from the bird, possibly not for another hour or so. I make the stuffing in a pot on the stovetop rather than roasting it with the duck.
