I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by loving family and friends. We had a great time. The house was full of people, tables were laden with food, champagne cocktail prepared everyone to sing together and Santa had left too many gifts.
The French Christmas was a true success. I could not have done it without William. We prepared the fifteen French luncheon items and presented them at noon after everyone arrived. Later, the table was cleared to the clean tablecloth underneath the top one, reset for dinner along with the famous British crackers full of silly paper crowns and toys. The Beef Bourguignon was the best I had ever made – took 7 hours! – and was a success.We all sat for a couple hours afterwards and just shared many family stories.
We visited Lori and Dave on the 26th and enjoyed the evening with them. Nice to have such good friends. Kimberly and William will be here for the next day or so before returning to Seattle. It is going to be an empty quiet house soon.
It was a really good Christmas for us. I hope it was the same for you.
