I hope you enjoy a few photos of our past Christmases. It's a decent substitute for new photos while my camera's out of commission. What a wonderful day we've had, beginning with a Christmas Eve service which included a scrumptious breakfast, lots of singing and many smiling faces. We came home to the aroma of roasting turkey and beef--both had been put on to cook before we left. Everyone pitched in one way or another and around 4:00, we had a feast fit for a family. The turkey was fabulous, the stuffing was amazing (I got the "pattern" for the stuffing from Fine Cooking, a magazine I picked up at the thrift store for a dime! I'll post the stuffing recipe later and explain about the "pattern" thing), the mashed potatoes were light and fluffy, and the gravy was only slightly lumpy. :-) Bard's pickle wraps were delicious, though there are many leftovers of all because there was so much to eat. Even now, the Turkey Carcass Soup broth has been started, so tomorrow's meal will be as yummy as today's! Come on by, if you need some food. ;-)
Now it's time to wash and wrap the Christmas pajamas (I finally found some!) and relax to the sights of candles glimmering and Turkey Carcass Soup simmering.
One more sleep 'til Christmas! Are you as excited as I am?!?
