Sometimes I count beans.
Christmas Day is a day filled with presents, with tables overflowing with food, with family and holiday cheer…
…Well, not quite. Strange as it sounds, my family hasn’t really celebrated Christmas for past ten years or so. No Christmas tree, no gift exchange, no feasts – we just treat it as another day at home. This year was no exception; especially since we spent most of this week in Vegas for a family reunion, today is a day of recovery rather than festivity.
Although today may not be as eventful for me as it is for you, don’t worry – I got my holiday cheer on last week. One of my managers was nice enough to invite us over to his house for a little holiday get together and his wife put together one of the most impressive spreads I’ve seen in a while.
(Gingerbread men and gumdrops – oh my!)
Everything was basically made from scratch, from the crispy wonton skins filled with savory sausage to the perfectly decorated tiramisu cheesecake. The mac and cheese was cheesy, the shrimp were coated in a lick-your-fingers spice rub…There was a lot of good grubbing going on.
So like I said, I already got my holiday cheer this December and I hope all of you are getting yours now too!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!
dude… made from scratch… that’s impressive
