And its lovely. Our tree is up,decorated. I have our stockings on the mantel. It even snowed a little the Sunday before last. I have been making presents: Crocheting like mad. My fingers hurt a little. But its all worth it to be able to provide my family with something for under their trees.
I love celebrating both yuletide on the 21st and Christmas on the 25th. Most people do one or the other,but its best to do both with my family. My grandfather would have a big dinner on the 21st,and a breakfast and dinner on Christmas.At his home up on the mountain winter was beautiful. It got snow, you could go cut down a fresh fir tree to decorate and all the great food that my mother,and the aunts would prepare. Ham,Turkey, Venison,Dressing,Cakes,Pies,
Sourdough bread loaves- It makes my mouth water remembering those meals.
Now my husband is the chef. He makes one delectable turkey and the gravy for the potatoes MMMMmhhhh. I can not wait till our Christmas dinner. I hope we make a ham. His dressing is also tops!
