This was a treat because we had expected that I would be housebound following surgery and would have to forego most, if not all, such occasions. Fortunately, we had been able to partake of some earlier evenings with good friends, as here. And, you can see that someone - who shall remain nameless - didn't get the memo that red was the color to wear!
With the postponement of surgery, however, some holiday celebrating was allowed, even though I couldn't partake of alcoholic holiday cheer because I was on antibiotics. Sigh. Still, a good time was had by all and it was good to see some of the older grandkids: Princes C, D & J.
And it was fun to see them enjoying Xbox 360 activities with enthusiasm - in addition to darts and snooker in the basement.
The food, which included turkey and trimmings, ham, varied sides and some outstanding crab dip and deer salami appetizers, was delicious. We also spent good moments visiting with people whose busy lives and farflung locations otherwise do not allow for much interaction.
Best of all, we had our very own Saint Nick, twinkling eyes and all!
