Menu for Christmas Week

Happy Friday everyone.  One short weekend and Christmas is upon us.  I haven't even finished my Christmas shopping yet!  So that is the second order of business today.  The first order of business is to make up and deliver a late Christmas Basket to a person who was late calling the food pantry.

Our choir party last night was a huge success.  The chicken marsala is always a popular dish.  I had made a ton and what didn't get eaten was taken home by guests.  It is going back on the menu for Christmas day.

Tomorrow will be spent finishing up anything left to do before the big day.  We will go to Mass at 4 pm.

Frank's brother and his wife are hosting Christmas Eve.  We will be singing at Midnight Mass.

Christmas Day dinner will be here.  I will be serving buffet style as I am not sure how many people will be showing up for the celebration.

When I went to the calendar to write this post I was absolutely thrilled to see that on Tuesday Frank had scheduled "sleep" for the entire day.  Sounds good to me.  Our Little Miss will be home enjoying time with Mama who has the week off from work.

Wednesday we are hosting a dinner party for our friends, Fr. Rooney, Sr. Maryann and Mary Agnes, who is my right hand at the food pantry.

No choir practice on Thursday so we have a free day.  I think maybe a date night.  There are several movies out that I want to see right now.

Friday we are hosting a Cocktail Party for our surrounding neighbors, some of whom have not yet met the others. I will be serving substantial appetizers.

So here is my Weekly menu including Christmas Day.  I hope that your week is filled with merriment and love.......
