It’s amazing how quickly the years go by as we age. It’s already Christmas (Eve)?! With so many things to be thankful for, we hope you will be enjoying time spent with loved ones this holiday. What’s on your holiday table to celebrate? Are you hosting a special meal, preparing anything to contribute to the table or enjoying the offerings as guests?
This year family on both sides are out of town/overseas so no big family celebrations for us this Christmas. It took me some time to figure out what to prepare for our quiet and intimate Christmas since it will only be husband, brother in law, cousin and myself. I’m so used to preparing meals enough for an army! My menu for Christmas Eve Dinner, Christmas Brunch and Dinner are below and it was definitely a relaxing, tasty and Merry Christmas for us!
here’s wishing you all a wonderful and warm holiday season!
