Rich and I had the most mellow Christmas we have ever had, I think. It was just the two of us, which is unusual. We usually invite over some of our other "orphan" friends for dinner, however, this year, Rich was working and everyone was taken care of somewhere else. Kathy is out of town so she wasnt around either. Actually, it was really nice - very v
ery relaxing and warm. Rich was able to get home from work around 10ish or so, which was lucky. We had a nice breakfast and then opened presents. We'd like to thank our families for all the wonderful goodies! Lots of books to read, sn
uggly clothes to wear and things to "play" with! We had a blast opening all the great presents! Afterward, I took a nap, Rich read, we did some stuff around the house, took a nap, read, prepped dessert, napped, made dinner.... :-) Actually, it was I that did most of the napping! Like I said, a really mellow Christmas! We cracked open our "crackers" to get our little surprises and our crowns for dinner - even Heat Miser got a crown this year!
We had an amzing dinner of filet mignon, with a blue cheese topping and a port reduction sauce... and white chocolate bread pudding with homemade caramel sauce for dessert - of course some very good wine as well. Afterward, we snuggled up on the couch and watched the original, 1973 movie musical of Jesus
Christ Superstar - it was awesome! Funny, I saw the lead - Ted Neely in the stage show last year - 35 years after! The snow fell, and fell, and fell, leaving about a foot on our driveway for the morning shoveling. All in all, a wonderful holiday! Rich is s
till working all weekend, on call, unfortunately, but next week he is off so we can play! :-) Merry Chritmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!
