It's Christmas time

I can't ask for a better time of the year. Family and friends are very high on my list so Christmas is extra special. My sister-in-law cooked for Thanksgiving so we agreed that I would cook for Christmas. December 26th started out with me waking up with the intention to cook breakfast but when you have a pretty hefty dinner to cook, somehow breakfast isn't looking all that appetizing right now. So instead, we opened each other's gifts. I was a good girl this year. I got some really nice things. My two favorite gifts were my Garmin GPS and my Sony Cyber-Shot 7.2 megapixel camera. I thought only men yearned for electronics. Not only will the Garmin get me to my destination, it has Bluetooth capability. It's perfect! The camera was an unexpected gift. I thought the 3.2 megapixel camera I had was good. That was until I saw the distinct difference between the two pictures. It was time to make dinner now. The menu consisted of: lamb, venison, chicken roaster, ham, greens, cabbage, rice, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and potatoes. We made just enough food. I guess they enjoyed the food because there really wasn't much left. Played some Tunk and played Christmas carols and enjoyed my family. The guests left about 10 pm and I called it a night. We had a splendid time and I loved watching my nephews open their gifts. I would like to donate to a charity next year in place of buying loads of gifts like I did this year. We will see how that goes. It would be nice to do both but I have been feeling like doing more contributions next go around. So here's to a Merry Christmas to all.
