Pre-Holiday Party #1

[ellyssian]

Tonight is really more of a working party, the pre-meeting of the holiday season meeting, as it were.

A bunch of Deb's family is coming over. Deb's sister Pat, along with Justin and me, will be ensuring that everyone gets stuffed pre-Turkey Day. Pat made two big freakin' lasagna, and Justin and I made up a pan and a half of stuffed shells. We'll be accompanying those cheesy-type foods with a simple lettuce salad.

Then the business starts!

Names will be drawn, in a tradition that started last year, and those names will ensure everyone doesn't have to buy a gift for everyone else, at least kid-wise. Makes things a bit more affordable for those who can't, which is most everyone these days.

Then, I expect, card playing will ensue.

Tomorrow will be a birding expotition^TM followed by a dinner party for a much smaller group of friends (not stinky family types!¹), with Bacon Wrapped Catfish, and Build-Yer-Own Baked Potato for the menu.

Anywho, more folks arriving, so I have to go get everything ready!

comment especially for stinky-family-type-blogger: Wow! And not even one Italian amongst you! HAHAHAHAHHAHHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA AAAHHH - wish I was there! Well, we had hot beef round pastrami (very lean) sandwiches on crunchy-crusted caraway rye bread for supper, preceded by mashed potatos, corn, and fresh (nOT brown'n'serve) sausages for lunch! No dark green veggies here for 6 months!

No dark green veggies here, either - just some lettuce mix, garlic rolls, garlic twists, pumpkin roll(s), chocolate frosted brownies, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut-butter covered pretzels, and probably one or ten things I'm forgetting.

That, and Brandon says: whooooo hoooooo hooooo!

Having a cup o' Stash green-tea chai and watching the kids (or at least the 3 teenage/1 pre-teen boys) playing video games.

That is a lovely holiday tradition. It adds some more zest to Thanksgiving as well. I'm going to make sure I do something like that for my family.

And yum! for the food fixins.
