I’ll be making Christmas Eve dinner for my ex-husbands family. And then Christmas Day I’ll be making dinner for my parents. Christmas night, husband brings my mother-in-law home to spend the night, after he gets off work. Unfortunately we can’t get everyone together at once at the same time lol. Dinner on Christmas Day will be Cornish game hens, glazed baby carrots, wild rice, rolls, and pumpkin pie.

You're going to be a busy momma but that sounds amazing! Your menu sounds delish and I hope after all of this you can take a nice long nap!

Merry Christmas! <3

I'm actually relived because many people act and look visibly stressed during this time of year.

Can be stressful for many indeed. Congrats on your new apartment btw. I hope you're very happy there.

Even though you don't celebrate Merry Christmas and enjoy your day!

I would imagine you're close to them? I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Getting ready for spring semester of cc.

What do you have planned, Mrs op?

I love the idea of your drawing and I'm sure it will beautiful when done. You'll get it figured out no pressure. Relaxing on Christmas sounds good and we do the same here.

I'm having a small gathering on Christmas Eve. Used to do huge gatherings every year and people would stay all night...no more lol! My menu is going to be simple this year. I'm making homemade meatballs with ziti and garlic bread. I'll throw together a nacho dip, cheese and crackers and chips and dips on the side. Haven't figured out my dessert yet.

Merry Christmas to you!

How come a smaller gathering this year? Shouldn't it get bigger every year. I personally made it a goal to get closer with family and create more social connections. I feel this is an area of life for me that needs more alot more work.

Merry Christmas to you too.

Just have finished watching only 10% of Xmas movies/TV show episodes on my must-watch list.

That means I still have a lot of fun to look forward to for this Xmas season.

I think I'm ready.

We have a very big family and we're all very close. For over 2 decades I did the huge Christmas Eve bash where family/friends would come, party and leave around 3 a.m. People grew up, started having families of their own, etc...my kids are grown and moved out of the house. I figured it was time for someone else in the family to take over the reigns.

Therefore I am not doing chit as I feel like it's after Holiday season and I feel depressed that 365 more days til next weeks leading up to Christmas 2022.

I think by the time Christmas hits a lot of people are burnt out. Do you do anything on New Years?

Merry Christmas

Maybe I should get started on a family of my own.... Maybe next year

Still sounds like a good time to me. Are you making anything special food wise?

Don't rush to start a family...it's exhausting LOL...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

This year's menu will be turkey and glazed ham as mains, with leafy greens salad, brussel sprouts and bacon, sausage rolls, stuffed potatoes, gratin and yorkshire pudding as sides, and trifle for dessert.

All homemade where possible because I enjoy making things from scratch.

Your Christmas get-togethers sounds like a blast, and nice party menu. Would gatecrash and nibble on

I did get an issue of some culinary magazine recently (subscribed to a few) and they had some really cool cookie recipes and ideas. I might give them a try and post the results here. Better yet I got some peppermint bark and Oreo bark. I wonder if I could melt it down and make some kind of topping with it....

I love peppermint bark. So many good recipes for cookies!

If you come up with something post your results here.
