Twas the Day before Christmas Eve…

… and we had a thunderstorm last night that broke the humidity and brought the temperature down to 23. Yesterday was unbearably hot, so this feels pretty good right now.

Down here we celebrate Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day, and I’ll be going to Cecilia’s place for a family dinner. I’m not much of a cook, but I actually do rather well with desserts, so I planned to make one to take. Only thing is, I have a gas stove here and, being used to electricity, I’m a bit afraid of the oven! I’ve mastered the stovetop, but the oven…not so much. So I have to make something that doesn’t need baking and I’ve decided on a traditional English trifle. Going out soon to get the fresh fruit and berries for it and then I’m pretty much ready for Christmas, so I can relax the rest of the day.

Happy Christmas everyone!

  1. HI, Helen:
    Hope your Christmas Eve is a great celebration. We’re having a major snow storm here and I didn’t get to church. Felt weird. Going to Pat and John’s for dinner tomorrow.
    I’m enjoy your posts very much and I wish you a blessed Christmas and a New Year filled with new adventures and lots of tango!!
    Love, Marie

    • Thanks Marie. I have to say that for my money 30 degrees and sunny beats a white Christmas all hands down! Have a lovely Christmas and New Year, and say Merry Christmas from me to Pat and John.
