NO question

the Advent fast is over. The amazing Cindi prepared an astonishing meal for us today. We had tenderloin roast (with hollandaise) and roast chicken, home-made light rolls, cranberry sauce, sweet potato sufflé, mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh broc, carrots, and peppers, and then pecan pie and/or pumpkin pie and coffee. Fabulous - and we were blessed to be joined by Lauren's friend, Dean, and Vicar, not to mention Opa and Grandma. The day included not just the feast, but singing around the piano, a few tickle episdoes and ice down assorted backs, some back scratches (not nearly enough!) and lots of chit-chat. And no limit on the wine today. Yippee! Merry Christmas to one and all!
