Christmas Plans

The deerhorn house is hosting a massive dinner party on Christmas Eve--36 people are expected to show. Granted, 18 of those people live here, but it's still a big deal. Also, the hot-water pipe to the kitchen froze several days ago so we don't have a dishwasher or hot water in the kitchen....we'll see how things go.

Everyone is contributing a food typical of their country, so we'll have Korean, Japanese, Swedish, Danish, German, Australian, , etc. I'm spent part of the evening making several pumpkin pies, and I've seen Swedish meatballs being made, as well as Japanese pudding and a strange dish made from massive amounts of red cabbage (that'll be the German, of course). It should be a fun evening.

Christmas day I've been invited to dinner at Adrienne's house after I get off work, so it'll be two days of feasting for me.

Tomorrow marks the first of 9 straight days of work, including 6 days straight of 8-4 shifts. I'm gonna be worn-out and itching to ski two weeks from now. Hopefully I'll be a little richer too.

Best wishes to all for the holidays!! May the cookies be succulent, the pies symmetrical, the trees dusted with snow, the carols in-tune, and the company cheerful, well-fed, and entertaining.

Merry Christmas to all!
