Like all holiday get togethers, Mrs.MM likes to be in charge of all the cooking. I stay out of her way unless she needs me to help. She goes all out and does an excellent job for Christmas dinner. Steak , shrimp , roasted chicken ( for those who don't know what a good steak is), stuffing balls, mashed potatoes and gravy and different pies , cookies and pumpkin roll. Last year she even made old fashioned potato candy. I'm going to request that this year too.

Teeheehee! As long as I am not the one cooking all will be well! 😅

We will be going to my daughters house for her first holiday dinner being the host. Even if I was a cook I wouldn't step on her toes. If she needs help I will but I am gonna enjoy watching her be the beautiful young lady she has grown up to be. (I am gonna insist I be on clean up duty though. 😊)

I love hand washing dishes. Warm soapy water is so mind calming.

I wondered if that was a thing RefreshMe! I have never had a working dishwasher. But it's not a big thing for me not to have. I noticed I do enjoy washing dishes with a window in front of me. It is mind calming. Good description!

Not anymore.  I used to fix a big ham dinner on Christmas, but have been going to a dear friend's home for Christmas dinner the past ten years.  I usually contribute a dessert item.

Christmas dinner is my turn to cook. I will cook a ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes. Family will also bring over other side dishes and desserts. I may make an apple pie if I have time the day before. It will be our last Christmas in this house and will be moving after Christmas to the new house.

My son cooked the Thanksgiving feast this year - spiral cut ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, etc. So he might do the Christmas one as well. Since the kids have broken up, he has spent time rediscovering the things he liked to do before all the drama. Cooking the entire feast was a first for him, but he did a wonderful job. I did the clean up.  :)

She is almost two years old! Can you believe it?

And yes, we did indeed get the better end of the deal. She's with people that care for her and love her and make sure she's taught the right things.
