Jep, the visit had to be canceled due to the road conditions. Will be a very quiet and silent xmas eve with my wife.
Merry Christmas to all of you again and may your travel plan materialize!

Reinhard, the same situation up here. All visits cancelled due to road conditions. I spent 4 hours today shoveling snow .

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Merry Christmas to all! May 2011 be much better!

And a happy boxing day to all our Canadian and UK friends!

Ah... so everyone survived? Good.

Survived, yes. That was the easy part. Doing the Christmas feast justice, that was the hard part. Only the scale knows how I did, and I'm thinking that it is badly in need of calibration, I can't believe I gained that much in so little time. OK, just because I've let my belt out two notches doesn't mean I pigged out...

Today we had left overs for lunch, yummiee
It was a nice touch.

You gave me a good chuckle there EZ.

By doing The Feast "justice", I try to prepare an excellent meal for everyone. It's what I do. Knowing that everyone had enough to eat and that the meal was good is enough for me. Although I do also enjoy the fruits of my labour.

There's more truth to that than you might guess. We normally have a dozen or so for Christmas dinner, but this year there was just the two of us. I still did the turkey, stuffing and gravy. Peggy did the rest. I'm OK at cooking, but a real klutz at cleaning up, so I'm usually banished from the kitchen after we eat.... Man, it sure took a lot of time and effort to get things to work out like that, but it's paying off big time.
