Pictures from Christmas Eve
Jan. 3rd, 2010 07:44 pm
I wish I'd taken more pictures, and I managed (once again) to leave myself completely out of the pictures again (I'm sure Freud would have something to say about this practice).
Sierra's friend Roger came, and my good friend Tom (
texasts ) blessed us with his presence. Marcel's daughter Felicitas and her baby Kalob (not shown - how did I not take that doll-babies picture?).
We ate southwestern corn chowder, drop biscuits, Turkey, dressing, spicy sweet potato wedges, and braised greens - and for dessert.... Marcel made an authentic Black Forest cake. We drank Albarino - a Spanish white wine that was new to me, but everyone agreed it's a keeper.
Because Tom Did It......

Getting in The Christmas Spirit
Dec. 3rd, 2009 09:38 amThis year I vowed to make my ornaments by hand. I am making salt dough ornaments. I cut them out and baked them this morning. Sunday I will enlist Sierra's help and paint them.
Oh, it's freaking cold here. 35F this morning outside (53F in the bedroom when we woke up). Forecast says it may SNOW in San Antonio tomorrow!! (I'll believe it when I see it - and, if I do, I'll get pictures!)


I found myself not at all in the holiday spirit this year, so I decided to start some routine holiday chores. This helped me very much. So, if you are feeling like Scrooge - definately go and burn some brittle to cheer yourself up.
