The freezers are bulging and burping like I do after Christmas dinner - they, too, are stuffed with (uncooked) Christmas dinner.

Amazing how much food we buy for the big week. We are delighted to have guests December 22 thru the 29th. How wonderful is that!

This year promises to be a great Christmas. Having so many people around is a huge help for me.

Bring on Christmas! We're ready!
