We have always gotten together Christmas day with my Dad and Mom's family. Sometimes it involves travel, sometimes it simply involves scheduling issues, but we have always done it Christmas day. The kids hated leaving their new gifts behind, but the anticipation of opening new ones was always an attraction. Last year Mom's health had declined to the point where she could not make it, so we went to her. This year she is no longer with us. Kindly my second daughter offered her new home as a gathering place for Christmas. She and my baby sister organized everything. My daughter's home is made for entertaining...a great open plan where the kitchen/dining/living spaces combine so everyone can gather and mingle together while they eat and then open gifts and play games. This year we were 22 people, with one home ill and 2 almost 300 miles away, with another 4 out of state. It was a potluck affair with everyone doing what they wanted to do and it was wonderful! So much food and such a great variety. I chose to do 2 favorites and a snack. Let me start with the one that I considered the least successful.
A cooking, eating & food blog for all of us!
