Christmas Dinner

Okay, I know we are behind the times but Rick and I are having our Christmas dinner today (Saturday, December 29). We were just so busy on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that we didn't have it then. The day after Christmas Rick wasn't feeling well so we didn't have it then. The next two days we decided we better get out of the house because we could feel a post-Christmas depression coming on! So we put it off until today. But that's okay. We don't usually go out on Saturdays because everyone else in Singapore is out that day. The malls are always full and it is a nice day to stay in and catch up on housework and office work!

So, what's on the menu today? We have been buying a few things (as we found them) since before Thanksgiving. For instance - marshmellows. Sweet potatoes aren't sweet potatoes without marshmellows! I also found a little bag of pecans (very hard to come by here) and have been saving them for the half of the sweet potatoes without marshmellows! Rick has been busy making dressing (he makes the best - okay, it's right up there with my momma's!). We even made Watergate salad - had to cut the marshmellows in pieces because we couldn't find the little marshmellows that go in that. Of course, there's the other items but these are the mains ones. I even have a pumpkin pie for later (on a homemade crust - I might add!)

We have a DVD of Belmont University Choir singing carols on the TV. We will be thinking of you as we eat today - wishing you were here to enjoy Singapore with us.

We miss all of you so much.

Merry (post) Christmas!
