What a wonderful day! We had a nice morning with some coffee and cooking. Everything came out beautifully and on time. Which is quite a change from the norm. Usually something hasn't cooked all the way by the time dinner is ready. But today was the exception that proves the rule. The turkey and the pork roast were done right on time. Both came out juicy and delicious. I overate as I always do on these days.
When dinner was done we did a gift exchange. We made a game of it. The one where you can choose to open a present or steal one that has already been opened. Jessi and I got a matching set of nutcrackers. They will make a good addition to our usual holiday decorations.
Delilah got some presents as well. One of the nice things about doing a family Christmas is that your kids never get shorted on the presents!
We finished family time with pumpkin cheesecake, blueberry pie, pumpkin pie, and lemon bars. Then we sat and talked for a while. I really enjoy the Sims side of the family get-togethers because it always involves a lot of talking, sharing stories, and laughing.
All told it was a marvelous little Christmas! I hope everyone who reads this had one just as nice.
