Today is the time for baking delectables, cooking turkey and
side dishes, chasing the rambunctious NO! Nathan toddler (takes a village I hear)
tracking down the hurried and impatient gas man, water delivery man whohas to
wait in relative calm while we empty the remaining liquid from the jug in
various pots and pans, pitchers and vessels to make way for a new bottle,
creating the space outdoors under the carport for infamous endless meat slabs
on the bbq for Christmas day, caring for the infirm elder, sick adults whose illness
transferred by the children, searching for Santa’s progress on-line. Where is
he now and how many presents has he delivered? Get out the colorful globe and
spin it around to point a finger on the little dot somewhere in the world.
At midnight we will scatter the scads of gloriously wrapped presents
amongst the kids and grandma mostly and then have dinner at 2:00amish. Hm, may
very well be armless by that time or fast asleep with my head in the unrecognizable
unpronounceable majority meat-based hors d'oeuvre platters.
Suspect several adults have raided the cookie jar since the
level has dropped considerably. May have to make another batch for the kids in
the next few days. They have been gobbling Advent Calendar Santas, Elves, White
chocolate balls, Snowmen, etc so they are not deprived of sugar. Everything from
yoghurt, cereal, Nescal (chocolate powder) plastic bottle juices to combine
with water, sodas and packaged cookies contain enough sugar to supply the
entire community.
Need to find a chocolate cake pudding on-line…Merry
Christmas Eve gente!
