Merry Christmas Eve dear sisters! What are your Christmas Eve plans?? What are you cooking today? I love Christmas and I'm bouncing around like I'm a 5 year old 
It's snowing here so I'm planning to ambush my hubby with a snowball when he gets home from work  Otherwise, I'm making pasta Alfredo, a big green Christmas salad and low carb eggnog cheesecake for a sweet finish. At a little before 8pm we always open our gifts from family members, and at eight we give a toast to friends and family and then the phone calls start as we wish everyone a Happy Christmas 
I've decided that this year we'll be adding another tradition to the list. We love the original Grinch cartoon and so we'll be watching that to finish off the evening while we cuddle in quilts on the couch
BIG Christmas hugs and wishes for a very Merry Christmas!!!
Hugs n' cookies =}

Dinner tonight is pork chops. I plan to go Christmas caroling with my daughter & her family.
I enjoy the orig. Grinch cartoon too. I get to watch it at least 4 times each Dec. as I watch it individually with each of the 4 grandchildren that live nearby.
Such fun!
Merry Christmas! |

Our Christmas eve meal is always homemade pizzas. This year my son, who loves making homemade beer, will be joining us, so we will be testing some of his homemade concoctions as well.
We are also going to try making rosettes for the first time.
And we will be delivering baskets of homemade goodies to all of our neighbors today.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I cannot master those things that I have not tried.

Just finished a lovely breakfast of pumpkin coffeecake with streusel topping my daughter made . YUM!! . . with fruit, yogurt and coffee. My son-in-law is going running as he is in training for a marathon. My hubby will hang out at home with our son and Robin and I are going on a little drive to the Pleasant View Mercantile to check on my apron display and I wanted to show her this country store.
Lunch will be "each for his own". Then my hubby is making Kung Pao Pork for supper tonight . . and probably a movie.
We all went to the theater last night to see "The Hobbit" . . enjoyed that but we are Hobbit/Lord of the Rings fans.
Tomorrow is the last day my daughter and SIL will be here . . . but enjoying the time they are here!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!

Tonight is a kid-free night as theatrical are all with their other parents. So my adult family is coming over. I am making prime rib roast, baked potatoes and eclair dessert. Tomorrow all the children come home and we open presents and go to grandma's house.
We will play board games and jigsaw puzzles. But we do not have television, so we will spend lots of time with family.
Very quiet traditions around here. I love it.

We are headed to our stepson and DIL about 100 miles away for their loud, very populated annual Christmas party and leaving by 9 PM so that we can get to our home church for 11PM service (my favorite of the year). Tomorrow we will attend the neighborhood Christmas dinner.
Whatever you are all doing, many wishes for a happy Christmas. Joey

Sitting in front of the wood stove, warm and cozy listening to classical Christmas music with my DH. We opened our gifts to each other and now I am waiting for the wind to blow the windchimes that my DH made for me. In the morning we will go into town bright and early for breakfast with kids and grandkids and to exchange gifts and to see what Santa brought the kids. Great fun.
keep searchin'-it's out there somewhere. |
