Merry Christmas to all
I hope that everyone had as nice a Christmas as we’ve had today. We went to visit our parents; they had a huge family dinner. About twenty four of our “immediate family” were there. The house was crowded, and noisy and full of laughter and fun! Everyone brought some food to share; we brought a really easy cake that I like to make that is basically angel food cake mix with a can of pineapple dumped into it. Easiest cake I’ve every baked! It’s good served hot or cold, I like to serve it with strawberry ice cream topping on it with whipped cream. It’s always a popular dish!
Everyone agreed to scale down on the gift giving, only giving gifts to the kids under the age of eighteen. I was glad of that because money is so tight right now, gift giving is a problem for us this year! But just getting together with our family was the best Christmas we could have; after all, that IS what Christmas is all about – being with loved ones!
