Last night the Schwartzes came over and we had a low-key but warm-hearted Christmas Eve celebration. We enjoyed:
2) Intensely fantastic apricot jam sent by Melissa and John.
3) Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies made by Kate McD.
4) Tempting and delightful veggie dishes from La Cuisine, courtesy of my coworkers.
5) Hot chocolate and sent by my parents.
6) A few sips of red wine courtesy of Kate McD.
7) Opening the last advent calendar window that Melissa C. sent us from Hawaii.
Later today our Christmas dinner will feature tamales sent by David and Heather.
In other words, we are having a fantastic Christmas. It's a lot like Christmas morning in Whoville after the Grinch tried to steal all the Christmas stuff : we have no tree, no stockings, no roast beast. And yet our home is filled with Christmas spirit, thanks to the kindness and love of all of our family and friends.
