Best of all tonight being Xmas eve we get to open our presents. Old family tradition so we have Christmas for 2 days. Tonight the presents tomorrow the dinner. I k now, I get to cook the dinner but it is nice to have the family eat heartily , chat and just enjoy the time together. This year I simplified dinner as well..........I bought 2 pumpkin pies (no one can louse up pumpkin pie can they?) made an apple pie yesterday. After dinner there will be a lot of help getting leftovers ready to go home with son and daughter in law. So we won't be eating left over turkey for a month. Everything is coming up roses ,OK that's figuratively , because while we are warmer here than the East we do have several feet of snow out there and it isn't in any danger of melting off.
