Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I'm having so much fun for the holidays. I really like to entertain. I like to cook.
This year our famiy has decided to do something diferent. We are only exchanging home-made gifts. What a relief!!!!!!!!!! Bought gifts are such a stressor. We must remember that we are celebrating the Gift of Jesus so as to open the gates of heaven to us. I have been baking incessantly goodies for gifts. I've especially been concentrating on recipies of my grandmothers. They were handed-down for a reason- they are delicious.
I really like to decorate the table. Homemade center piece, hand-made placemats(snowflakes), linen napkin folding, place cards, silver, hostess gifts, etc.
Our menu wil be Shrimp and Okra Gumbo, rice, potato salad, french bread and for dessert, my grandmother's lemon cake (it's to die for). I know we should eat to live, but this is the only acceptable exception.
Our Christmas Eve will be filed celebation of family and thanksgiving for the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
