Now we barely celebrate Christmas anymore. Tomorrow we will not go to the gym and will go see a movie instead.

Pasta is cooking, sauce is pretty much ready and in thirty minutes, people begin arriving.

Server has been checked and rebooted and hopefully all will be well.

My favorite Christmas food is my mother's English dark fruitcake. Several months before Christmas she would bake several cakes in tins. Over the months she would add brandy (I think it was brandy) to the cakes and then in December she made a marzipan topping for them. The one served at Christmas dinner had a traditional hard white frosting and then she decorated them with her English Christmas toppings which I have.

For some reason my mother gave my sister, who didn't cook much, her recipe book and the best fruit cake ever recipe was lost

I usually made my mother's cheesecake recipe for Christmas decorating it with my mother's toppings.

Bryan's Christmas gifts arrived while we were in Chicago visiting him.

Our upstairs neighbor saw them and took them up to her place. Today she delivered them to us along with a plate of cookies. Best of all, along with our upstairs dog.

Keith answered the door and I could hear Salty, our upstairs dogs, trying to run inside. I dropped on the entrance way rug and yelled "let him go" and in he charged over to me. I love this dog.

Our neighbor said as soon as Salty heard her tell her husband she was going to Jane & Keith's he charged out the door and down the stairs to us, well charged as fast as he could since he was attached to his leash.

Once I passed the treat bag I always carry Salty then left me for Keith

Renée Zellweger is terrific in JUDY.

Keith, guessing what his gift was, opened it tonight so he can use it tomorrow morning. It is a coffee mug that can be set for the temperature you want, and then it keeps the coffee warm. It sits on a little charger when not in use.

I am waiting until tomorrow to open my gift. I have a sneaky suspicion it is a new tablet. That is what the box feels like through the gift bag.

I am looking forward to seeing it.

We were going to see UNCUT GEMS tomorrow. We like Adam Sandler & the reviews are terrific. After watching a trailer we should see it at home as it might be too difficult to me to hear it all in the theater.

Watching It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time in years. Hasn’t lost its charm.

The boat trip was peaceful. Felt good. We did see a few dolphins, which is odd because the water should be colder than it is.

Sadly, family drama is erupting. One sister refuses to believe Dad is in need of hospice care and is causing stress for the rest of us. And it’s not going to be nice if/when she gets slapped down to reality.

Merry Christmas Eve!

I'm sorry for your sad news, John. We are there with my MIL now.

I gave Leonard a pecan, and he thinks it is the best thing ever.

Just wait until he gets his real gift tomorrow.

The pastor's wife asked for six dozen cookies for tonight's Christmas Eve Service. Wae-Ling and I spent about 12 hours making them. We made cut-out sugar cookies with royal icing.

The Do is Done and was a lot of fun - about twenty people in all, maybe a bit less, which is what I prefer.
