Instead of another baked ham, I'm making cocktail sausages in Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce (adding grape jelly and diced onion) with Pilsbury croissants and deviled eggs. I may fry some homemade chicken fingers, too. Snack stuff. I'm also making from scratch a pumpkin spice sheet cake with cream cheese icing and almond cookies. My sister might bring spinach dip with Ritz crackers. We will get Chinese food the following day.

What is everyone else cooking/eating for Christmas holiday?

I will be eating dinner at SwiftMom's on Christmas day.

We will be having a standing rib roast with roasted potatoes, green beans, rolls, and a bunch of other stuff. And a Black Forest Cake for dessert (provided the bakery doesn't lose it, again....). SwiftMom also usually bakes a bunch of cookies, breads, and other assorted goodies. It will be very hard not to find the SwiftPounds I've lost over the last few months!

I want to be in this picture - you can find me over at the Chocolatier :drool::chew:

I'm picturing this as somewhere in Germany for some reason :smile2:

Thanks for all of the kind words, thoughts and advice, everybody!

I'm halfway down to Palm desert - stopped in Bakersfield for the night. Hoping the furry one goes to bed soon, but she gets nervous and wanders around when we're in a new environment.

I'm looking forward to making this an awesome Christmas, even if it's just my mom and I. I put together a cute Christmas stocking filled with goodies - she probably doesn't expect a visit from Santa, so she should be pleasantly surprised.

Drive safely! Hope Mom is thrilled to see you and have a great holiday!

“I know what I really want for Christmas.
I want my childhood back.
Nobody is going to give me that. I might give at least the memory of it to myself if I try. I know it doesn't make sense, but since when is Christmas about sense, anyway? It is about a child, of long ago and far away, and it is about the child of now. In you and me. Waiting behind the door of or hearts for something wonderful to happen. A child who is impractical, unrealistic, simpleminded and terribly vulnerable to joy.”

― Robert Fulghum
....may your inner child be full of joy this Christmas and into the New Year.....I treasure each of you, and thank your for the mirth, merriment and love that you gift me with all year round.....
