The elves have been working quickly, quickly. Actually I've been really ill for the past week, so when Christmas came up on us, we rested some more. We had our usual saturday morning pancake breakfast, special with eggs AND bacon (wow). We each opened our one present.(We had other presents, but we opened the electric blanket and deodorant early out of necessity) I headed to the market for groceries (mad house) while Timon got his hair cut.
We had a few comrades over for a simple dinner; rotisserie chicken, garlic mash potatoes (土豆泥 literally "potato mud"), Jon's broccoli salad, curry made by his chef roomie, and apple pie for dessert (by the Smiths!) Jon's broccoli salad is amazing. He brings it to every potluck meal so we all look forward to it- crunchy raw broccoli, bacon, grapes, homemade mayo sauce, and sunflower seeds. We had so much we ate it for 3 days after Christmas!
Christmas isn't complete with some caroling- so Jon jumped on the guitar as we nibbled on toffee, peanut brittle, and caramels made and shipped over from his mom. Thanks Mrs. Osterman! Tastes like christmas!
Yeah, our kitchen was trashed after all the cooking. By the end of the night I hadn't even made my christmas presents yet. Happy new year!
