A Holiday Cocktail and the Weekly Menu including Christmas

Be Cheered; It is Christmastime........

Cocktail

And we are serving up Candy Cane Kahlua and Cream Cocktails......

It is so hard to believe that Christmas is here!!!  This was the fastest year ever.  Last year at this time I got home from the hospital on December 21st.  Just in time to celebrate Marina and Devin's Wedding.  I was so grateful to be home for the holidays and grateful that this year I was able to be involved in all of the decorating, entertaining and shopping that Frank had to handle on his own last year.

Candy Cane Kahlua and Cream

Last night Frank made me a cocktail to celebrate.  It is a classic White Russian but he rimmed the glass with sugar and peppermint sprinkles and added a shot of Peppermint Schnapps.  It was a perfect cocktail to enjoy in front of the fire while we counted our many blessings.

Marissa's Aunt, Uncle, and Brother are coming over for Christmas Brunch this morning.  We are singing at Mass tonight and will go out for dinner afterward.  Tomorrow night we will be celebrating Christmas Eve at Frank's brother's.  Christmas Day dinner will be here with family and friends.

We are having Frank's cousins and Roz over for dinner on Wednesday. The rest of the week will be spent recuperating and eating planned leftovers.

So here is what I'm serving up for Christmas and what I will be making with the leftovers.
