It's Christmas Day and for the first time ever there is just the four of us for Christmas lunch. We feel like we are missing a wheel as we usually have Paul's parents with us. We will be joining some friends for dessert and more drinks later on though.
We were anticipating Snow would be with us but her Grandfather is sick so she had to go back to China during the Christmas break. The day brfore she left on her trip we gave her our Christmas presents, which was pajamas, cozy socks, a Coach purse, mint chocolate covered graham crackers and a Terry's chocolate orange.
Santa brought us all some wonderful presents from the Apple store, Lululemon, Athleta, North Face, Hollister, American Eagle, Banana Republic, Coach, Nordstrom and of course the liquor store....so I guess we must have all been on the 'nice' list this year.
For lunch we had roast beef, Yorkshire pudding (a British side dish which is similar to American popovers), gravy, Brussel sprouts, carrots and roast potatoes. I have to thank my wonderful husband for taking them helm on the cooking today. The food tastes much better when you don't cook it. Dessert will be Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, profiteroles and chocolate sauce, mince pies and cheese and biscuits.
From us and ours, to you and yours....we hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy and healthy New Year.
