To those who celebrate the holiday today I wish the best that Christmas can bring to you. And, to those whose beliefs don't include this particular holiday, I wish that you feel the love, joy, and peace that it represents in your lives.
I would apologize for not blogging more about the season's dealings but as I'm sure you know, this is one of the most time consuming and stressful times of year for everyone and I am definitely included in that group.
Between holiday concerts in Pennsylvania, finding perfect gifts, train travel, teaching, cards and letters, decorating trees and planning menus, this one has been....well....let's just say it - NUTS!
But I am happy it all was done when it had to be. Now on to our annual Holiday Open House on January 1st. This gives me time to enjoy this holiday, have a slight breather, re-group and throw a beautiful, cozy shindig that we all can enjoy.
Tonight, however, we're having another couple over for dinner - a tradition of Jae's and mine that, unfortunately, has been on hiatus for far too long - where I get to spend the day in the kitchen making something special.
In this case tonight's menu includes a prune, apple, rosemary and pecan stuffed pork roast with a spicy mustard crust, braised red cabbage (supplied by our guests) and roasted potatoes. Actual utensils at an actual dining table, candle (and tree) light and a fire in the fireplace - and by that I mean the fire DVD on the wide screen!
It should be festive and satisfying.
I hope your holidays are all that you wish for them to be, dear readers, and I will be back very soon with more of my inanities and insanities.
Happy, Happy!
