Christmas

I have always enjoyed the holidays but Christmas by far is my favorite. Yesterday was especially good. We opened presents in the morning followed by sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast. We then took some time to pick-up a little and get Christmas dinner together.

In the late afternoon our good friends arrived for the celebration. We sat and visited around some finger foods while our meal finished cooking. We then feasted on a wonderful dinner of our Christmas food favorites-ham, homemade mac and cheese, squash from the garden, sweet potatoes, cranberries and citrus fruit salad being among our favorites. Yum! We were able to get all the children and adults at one table so it was fun to visit with all.

After eating, we adjourned to the living room. We set Christmas cookies and candy out, the birthday cake for Jesus and the cheesecake my friend brought with her. We then nibbled on those while spending the rest of the evening playing some games. The best part of the evening was a game of Mad Gab with adults against the kids. It was so much fun! Of course the adults won!

Today, we head to my side of the family to enjoy our holiday time with them.

It was a wonderful Christmas Day celebration. I hope all my readers enjoyed their times with the loved ones they were with yesterday.
