MY CANADIAN CHRISTMAS DAY

Not the whitest Christmas but there is a little sprinkling of snow on the ground. Opened presents with my hubbie, Adolph, had phone calls from both daughters, will be calling family out west later, Adolph has called Italy already and the vegetables are ready. I will be making my traditional Canadian bread stuffing for the turkey. We will have all the trimmings- mashed potatoes, gravy, bread with butter, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoe,cranberries, a few Italian sausages, wine, eggnog, and of course many, many desserts- the Christmas yule log,cupcakes with a Christmas theme for the children, homemade cookies and sweets and lots of chocolates. Our day is spent preparing the meal and anticipating the arrival of children, husbands and grandchildren. There are Christmas crackers to pop so we can wear the hats and find our little surprises inside. I even bought candy canes for the table in the shape of hockey sticks!

The best joy is being with family, reaching out to family that can not be with us and remembering those no longer with us! What do you do on your Christmas day? Have a joyous one!
