The holidays - how did we get here already?

Can you believe it's only a week and then the holiday madness is over?  I hope your holidays are going well...I hear such things are possible!  :-)

So, another theory on making the holidays easier.  Make Christmas dinner easier.  That literally means making fewer foods...Because I don't know about you, but coordinating food is the toughest for me.  How do you make sure you take the meat out soon enough that it doesn't overcook especially while you're waiting for your guests, especially the latest one, you know who you are.  :-)

So, have fewer things to coordinate!  If you want to wow people, and let's face it, we all do...Extra appetizers...More and prettier cheeses, or meats, or whatever your favorite appetizer is.

And then, one or two meats, one carb side, and one veggie...You can do it!  You know you can!  Alright, in the spirit of compromise, maybe two veggies, because some small people are not fond of cauliflower, and is Christmas day really the day you want to deal with what you should eat?

That's too scary!

Just another thought!

And instead of making and sweating over that extra side course, this is my favorite part, packet of apple cider, husband or small child, and walk out into your backyard...And sit for a bit...

And isn't it wonderful we have the craziness?

Just a thought...or two!

Happy Everything!
