XMAS EVE



December 24, 2012

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!
