Christmas Eve

 Are you ready for Christmas? No? Good, me either! I think everything has arrived. Some late night wrapping and some clues need to be written for the kids to 'find' a present on Christmas morning.  I think we have everything we need for the appetizers for Christmas day. There will be a veggie platter (my healthy item!), cheese ball and crackers, chip and dip, meatballs and mini dogs in the chili/grape jelly sauce, shrimp ring, things for ham and cheese sliders, various cookies.. I know I am missing something but can't remember what.

After getting done work today, I'll finish up the 3 microwave cozies. I did pick up some more batting yesterday.... maybe I'll try one for the pasta bowl as requested? The house needs cleaning for the In-laws to come over tomorrow.

Covid is hitting closer to home for us here in Florida. On Monday - I found out one of my girl scout troop families is quarantining for being exposed to someone so they are home until January 4. Last night, I found out the grandmother of 2 of my girls (the one who bring them to meetings when we had them) has 2 in her household with positive tests and are under quarantine. If you could send some prayers or healing thoughts to both families, I would appreciate it.

I hope you all have a relaxing day before Christmas. I'm off to work!

Merry Christmas I hope you all will be well with having the in-laws visiting from two different households. The vaccine can't come fast enough. Have a great day

Oh, goodness! Here's hoping those games with Covid exposure fare well. Ready for Christmas? Not a chance!! Several errands and ALL the wrapping to do today. Sigh...

Oh how scarey with those positive results--I am sending some prayers for sure...hope all goes well.

Your Christmas feast sounds wonderful --with just the two of us here on this holiday eve, I made his favorite minnestrone soup and we will have stuffed clams for starters...and egg nogs at 4 o'clock...with cheese crackers...

Tomorrow, as we usually do, we will go easy and have leftover pot roast...so really no cooking to be done...
Such a sad holiday this year--
Do enjoy your family time together and have fun opening gifts...

Stay careful and safe hugs,julierose

A bowl cozy for your pasta bowl sounds like a great idea. Hope you have a fun (and yummy!) Christmas Day, Deb! I'll definitely be sending good thoughts for your people who've been affected by Covid.
