Friday, December 25, 2020





Mom wasn't up for dessert. Dale and I indulged after she left. Pumpkin. Pie.

Christmastide 2020: Christmas Day - The First Day of Christmas: Dinner with Mom

Friday, December 25, 2020

It's been ages since we've had Mom over for dinner. I think it's been since summer and we probably ate outside. 

We all chatted for a couple of hours, then ate dinner and chatted some more. 




We had planned on watching a movie but then Mom started getting tired. She had brought a gift over for us. 


It turned out to be a beautiful edition of the four Gospels of the Bible. Lots of beautiful artwork throughout. 

Christmastide 2020: Christmas Day - The First Day of Christmas: Getting Dinner Ready

Friday, December 25, 2020



Made a Bloody Mary.


Got the balls on the tree. Decided to go simple and not ornament-pack it this year. It's a lot easier. 





Played sous chef to Dale and helped get the beef bourguingnon going. 




And listened to some Ella.

Christmas Eve 2020 - Simple Dinner

Thursday, December 24, 2020



Simple dinner of chili tonight. We watched the most recent episode of Star Trek: Discovery. We're not entertaining tonight so we decided to make it extra easy. The hard work comes tomorrow when we'll be up early to prepare the beef bourguignon. Mom'll be coming for dinner! None of the three of us have interacted closely with anyone outside our immediate households for a while so it should be quite safe.
