Happy Christmas! I too am with just my kitties this Christmas. Made candied Yams and Sweet carrots with cranberry today, for tomorrow. I will roast a Turkey Breast and bake a Green Bean casserole, some yeast rolls, and Cranapple juice to sip tomorrow.

Will have a wee glass of Tawny Port tonight before bed. The commercialism of Christmas sickens me. I watch all the bowl games and see commercials for 'Christmasketball' Not a thought of the Savior of the world being born, just the religion of sports and purchasing 'things' to soothe the empty souls.

Isn’t that the way it always is?.. People too busy being busy to pause. And look up. And be thankful for God’s greatest gift to mankind. I think my favorite Christmas song is Silent Night. For that VERY reason.

Merry Christmas, FRiend!

Hi ....first Christmas Eve alone in 15 yrs. usually at my sons but their girls are grown and on their own so they're all doing other events tonight or working.

However I have little sausages simmering on the stove made with special B-B-Q sauce, grape jelly, orange rind and a bit of garlic... Chewing on tasty macadamia cookies along the way and enjoying now a cup of cinnamon coffee topped off with vanilla Creamer....all is well and content.

Tomorrow Christmas Brunch with the family. I have a huge fruit basket to take with various cheeses and goodies tucked in...and upteen bags of Rectors Chips of all flavors.

Amazingly the weather here was fog all day long and will not lift until tomorrow around 10 am. Looked and felt like London England! lOL..

Enjoy your festive meal and your kitties tomorrow, if I was your neighbor I'd stop by for a visit as the food sounds wonderful! Happy Christmas to you!
