Well this morning we braved the bad weather (freezing rain) and went shopping for our last-minute Christmas gifts.  We only had a few inexpensive items left on our list, and we finished it up today.  So now we can focus on the gift wrapping and the cooking!  We are planning on having a few friends over for Christmas dinner, but not enough to warrant a turkey so we bought an oven-stuffer roaster chicken for our meal.  This is the first Christmas I’ve ever had where I can remember NOT having turkey!  I’m not sure if it will really feel like Christmas without turkey!  But I just can’t justify buying that much meat – there is no way we would ever eat it all before it went bad, and I have a feeling that if we froze some of it, it would just get freezer burnt, so I don’t even want to try that.  So, chicken it is!
