Christmas

Hi there. It's time for another of Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4...  

Christmas is next week...Let's talk a bit about it, okay?

1. Are you excited for Christmas to come?  Yes, I am!!  This year may be the best one I've had since my sweet Joe died (Feb. 2021).  

2. What do you look forward to on Christmas?  My sister, Tammy, is coming.  Helen's niece Cheryl will join us again this year and my neighbors are also joining us!!  Anne and Paul usually go to their daughter's in New York but are staying here this year.  Duane and Marlene usually go back to Wisconsin for Christmas but are staying here this year.  Dee and Bill have just been here a year plus a little and they aren't going to family either so there will be nine around my table and I love that!!  I call them my chosen family!  

3. What will Christmas Eve find you doing?  Christmas Eve day is Sunday, so we will go to church.  My church is having a candlelight service at 5:30 Christmas Eve.  After that we might have Chinese for dinner.  That was a tradition Joe and I had.  Tammy and I will probably open our gifts to each other. That's what we did last year.  Lots to prepare for on Christmas morning.  We are gathering at 2:30. 

4. What will be on the menu for Christmas?   I am doing the ham, au gratin potatoes, deviled eggs, a pickle plate, a red velvet cake, and the rolls.  Cheryl is bringing a pecan pie.  Anne is bringing an appetizer plate and sweet potatoes. Dee is bringing a salad and ice (my ice maker doesn't work!).  Marlene is bringing a green vegetable.  I think we will have plenty!  I have plans to bake some cookies this year so there will be cookies, too.

Since Christmas will come before the next Tuesday 4, I (Annie) wish you a blessed and very merry Christmas.  Annie, I wish the same to you and yours!!  Merry Christmas!

Peace and Hugs!!

Have a blessed day!

The SON is shining!!
