Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I am so blessed with family,friends and the love of God. Our family will celebrate with a huge Christmas Eve dinner, this year brisket, potatoes, mushrooms in a white wine sauce, grape leaves, and a mega salad. Often we have had prime rib, but over the years when arrivals are delayed and we never know when dinner actually is—we have changed that to brisket as it holds well. Lots of Simi wine and Elvis singing in the background. It’s a wonderful time. Christmas morning, we have Champagne and Caviar while opening gifts. Over the years, the gifts have become quite secondary with laughter, conversation, and just being together as primary.

I wish all my friends and family a wondrous Christmas and may God shower you and your family with blessings this Christmas season. One of my favorite quites is this one from Andy Rooney. Think about it.
