Panettone and Stollen

On Christmas Day (yesterday), in addition to a rich (and very alcoholic) fruitcake a housemate had made, I had the following Christmas cakes/bread. I have tasted these cakes many times before (back in Australia), and I've always liked them. I was glad to be able to enjoy these on Christmas Day here in Ottawa. Yummy!


Panettone - Italian Christmas Cake/Bread
(I bought this from Loblaws)


Stollen - German Christmas Cake
(Given to me by a housemate, who bought it from the Stubbe chocolate shop)

Today is Boxing Day... A few of my housemates have gone to Rideau Centre for bargains. I heard that lots of things are on sale, or even 50% off, but I decided not to go because I wasn't keen on the bargain-hunting crowds (or aggressive shoppers). I will leave it for a few days, and go when I need to do some grocery shopping.
