What’s For Christmas Dinner?

December 11th, 2006 by admin

I am cooking Christmas dinner this year for the first time for my family.  Every year we have always went to my mother’s and everyone in the family that came would bring a dish - if my mom would let us!  She’s one of those type, but we love her!  Anyway, this year we are having our Christmas dinner on New Year’s Eve, as our family has grown so large we had to rent a place to fit everyone in. 

This gives me the opportunity to cook a whole holiday meal - all by myself!
