Christmas Eve


It's Christmas Eve, the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.  More presents kept magically appearing under the tree throughout the day today.  


Isn't that what Christmas is all about?  Presents and then more presents… We did open a few tonight but we usually wait until Christmas morning to open our present.  We had Christmas Eve dinner with family members we won't see tomorrow





 so we opened presents with them and had another mini feast.  




We started with the festive white cranberry spritzers 


This is the Christmas I will remember as my Whole Foods Christmas because once again I stocked up with a few items to include in our Christmas Eve feast including these Parmesan Crisps.


These are an appetizer that were a big hit at our office party so I included these again.  All the Christmas cookies were put out tonight including the russian tea cakes,


We received the Harry and David pears from Bruce's parents again this year so we had christmas pears which is turning into a tradition now.  This year I added some grapes.




Other appetizer's included cheese and crackers





and of course, the almond roca.


Our dinner was once again the  mustard crusted beef tenderloin which is always a winner for a special meal like Christmas Eve dinner.  Dessert was from Whole Foods…



Bush de Noel, the traditional French Christmas dessert or "Yule Log".   Our meal was complete!  Once again, we are surrounded by good food, good drink, good company.


Merry Christmas, everybody!
