Thursday: Christmas Day

So here it is at last.  The so-called Big Day.  As always I am up early after a reasonable night's sleep and am raring to go.  The turkey is out of the fridge to go into the oven at 8:30.  That will give me plenty of time at the other end.  Everything else is more or less prepared now so it will just be cooking and assembling.  It's just a traditional dinner, nothing fancy or complicated so, really, timing is the key.

We had a pleasant family evening yesterday.  Dave and Anna's pizzas were, as always, absolutely delicious and there was very little left over, thank goodness, because I have no idea where I could have put it.  We have some left over garlic bread and I think I might zizz it to make garlic infused breadcrumbs for the freezer or maybe to coat any vegetable patties I might make for lunch tomorrow (depending on leftovers).

Anyway, I doubt you want to read my early morning waffle today.  I will shut up now.  Thank you for reading and I wish you all a very, very happy and peaceful Christmas Day.

  5. I love your banner on this page - very pretty and atmospheric.
    Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day. Boxing Day now - my goodness, the time does fly.
    I am doing one of my all-night work sessions, but have so enjoyed reading your blog during my coffee break.
    Have a lovely Boxing Day. :o)

  6. Thanks, Sonja! Do you recognise where in the house it was taken?

  7. Yes, I do recognise - along the sideboards against the far wall. :o) It looks so pretty with the candles and everything. :o)
    It sounds as if you have had a wonderful time and I am sure the Christmas dinner will have been an absolute delight - we have been lucky to sample it previously and how delicious it was! :o)
    The all-nighter went well, thanks, but I go so tired at about 6ish that I had to go and lie down. Had a couple of hours very deep sleep which was great and now it's back to the grindstone. :o)
    Have a lovely day. S.xxxx
