the holly jolly eve of Christmas

Dec 24, 2022

Our family is tiny — especially this year with the weather. Scott’s stuck in Vegas alone and Tammy is in Fort Wayne. That leaves Perry, the Pesky Neighbors, Ben & Colette, and Katie. And I WAS going to have enough food to feed an army.

I started early so I wouldn’t have so much to do…

Yesterday, I did the turkey breast so I could make noodles. I also boiled 18 eggs and peeled them for deviled eggs. Ham, mashed potatoes and more I figured I’d fix this morning.

eggs and noodles

The first time Katie came she ate turkey. The next time, she ate two bowls of noodles. Perry and Colette had noodles too. And I might of had some myself.

Then, Merida counter surfed and ate every single egg. Every. One.

Lots to do today since my head start got me absolutely no where. Hopefully I’ll snag a few holly jolly photos this evening that I can share tomorrow. Santa has been here! Yippee! (That translates to all the packages got wrapped — a job I despise.)

TIL (Today I Learned): The star on top of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center (New York City) is covered with 3 million Swarovski crystals and weighs 900 pounds.
