I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We were truly blessed with family, friends, food and presents. I'm so grateful for my life and the people in it and thank God on a daily basis. I was wishing for a white Christmas but we didn't have one ...we will definitely have snow soon though I'm trying to understand all that el nino weather pattern stuff and weather is a very interesting to me. Usually, we have snow on or before my son's birthday on February 2nd, Ground Hog Day.
Some of my appetizers. We do an Italian anti pasta and charcuterrie and also some extra plates like these. The next day we had some again!
A not so great photo of the dessert table. We had some home made goodies and favorites from our bakery. My husband and I go together the day before Christmas Eve to pick out what we want. Its become our tradition. This year we chose 5 ls of butter and Italian cookies, a Christmas Yule log cake, pignoli cookies and mini cannoli.
Nova was pooped after all the festivities.
Praying everyone has a healthy and happy new year. I truly wish that for all. Even for people who have hurt me I never wish badly for them. I can't. I wish peace and good health to ALL.
It looks and sounds like a lovely celebration!!! I made a pot of chili. I need to get the sweets out of this house soon!

We had a quiet Christmas! Jessie came home for 4 days and we had a lot of fun shopping, baking and watching Hallmark Christmas movies. I miss her so much when she goes back home to school. Robbie started a new job and he is still working at his old job until they close everything up. His company was sold and the new company offered Robbie a job doing the same line of work but with a promotion, raise and bonus, so he was unable to come home for the holidays. However he is coming in January for 10 days and Jessie will drive down for the weekend and we will celebrate Christmas once again I will be leaving up the decorations until he goes back home.
ReplyDeleteWe went to a friend's New Year Eve Party and it was a lot of fun...It was the first time in year's that we went out on New Year's Eve. We even stayed until the ball dropped!
Wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year!
