Are you getting ready for Christmas yet

We're going over to my brother and sister in laws for Christmas dinner. I'll surprise them with these too and build a ginger bread house with my niece and nephew. Also, I found a yummy recipe via facebook posts, chocolate eclair cake! Nom nom nom I can't wait to make it!

My family does not like gingerbread, but the houses are very decorative..



I will make a yule log cake.

Mmm I love yule log cake too, good choice.

I've already gained an extra 5 pounds and it isn't even Christmas yet! Usually by the end of January I gain like 10 or more pounds and then spend months working it off, but soo worth it.

One year we had plum pudding for dessert, but my family prefers chocolate yule log cake.

Anything chocolate is good!

I got some Hershey's kisses and chocolate almonds, but I am not planning on dessert on December 25. Anyone do anything special for X-Mas eve? Mommy is making her famous spring rolls. Perfect with a nice merlot.

Every Christmas Eve we have what hubby calls "snick snacks" smoked oysters, cheese, crackers, a few drinks. A couple Christmases ago I woke up with one heck of a hangover lol

They are popular items for sure Annie..



I set out smoked sausage, several kinds of cheese and crackers, Swedish meatballs, fruits like sliced Fuji apples, dates and pears and a cheese foundue..



Lots of hot chocolate too.

If you were in Calgary, we would be pleased to show you some of my family's hospitality.

Do you live right in the city of Vancouver Annie?

[Annie]

Yep I do! I live in the Tri City area which is about a 20 minute drive to central Vancouver.

Well, I won't have as many people as you do on X-mas evs, so if I put out all that food, it would not get eaten. I do like the fruit and fondue though.
