I think we're almost ready. From my great-grandmother's quilt that only comes out for Christmas time to the tiny Italian Nativity I gave my grandmother almost fifty years ago to the plaster Santa Claus that John painted when he was in grade school as well as all the other traditional Christmas decorations . . .
The pineapple, oranges and coconut are waiting to to be made into ambrosia for Christmas breakfast; there are ducks thawing for the feast, a mincemeat pie to be made . . .
And the possibility of quite a bit of snow. We hope that the friends who usually join us for Christmas Day will be able to get here . . . we hope that there will be power . . .
And I hope that all of you are enjoying this Christmas Eve!

Things are well underway for you, as they are for us. We're having a nice relaxing day of it, up to our necks in mince pies etc. Bracing ourselves for the big day with daughter, son-in-law and gorgeous grandchildren.
Stay warm and safe. Above all, have a wonderful time!

yes, much the same as you Vicki. I usually start cooking at 2pm, with the mince pies and sausage rolls. By 3 pm they are well underway and I turn on the radio to listen to the nine lessons and carols from Kings College, Cambridge.
Your room looks very welcoming and seasonal.
Have a lovely day and I'll keep my fingers crossed for your guests, that they get there.
Blessings, Star

I enjoy your wonderful festive accents. And your banner photo, how wintry glorious!
Merry Christmas Vicki! Hope you have a beautiful time. Your house looks lovely. Hopefully the snow will not cause problems. We've got a bit of sleet/snow and ice on the ground, but hoping it doesn't get any worse so the family can't travel. Take care,
Tammy

Merry Christmas to you and your family, snow here, suppose to be lots of it :), my dad loved minced meat pies, traditon and things that bring alive a memory are what make the holidays perfect for me.
