It's always good to hear silence when people are tucking in to a roast dinner and last evening's Xmas dinner was no exception.
The Lambs and Leons joined us for Butternut Squash soup followed by Roast Turkey, Ham, Stuffing (x2), Sausages/Bacon, Roast Potatoes, Carrots, Broccoli, Sprouts and assorted trimmings. Dessert of Pumpkin Pie and whipped cream and/or fuzzy navel cake followed an hour or so later once we had made room.
The Pimp Goblet you can see in the picture here forming the center piece of our traditional Xmas table decoration was ultimately won by Michelle (after a couple of rounds of stealing) during the White Elephant gift exchange on Xmas Eve. There was a good showing of creative gifts for the White Elephant this year - ranging from a Froggy Yam Holder to a glass stilletto soap dispenser to a double feature DVD of Steven Segal movies - and some more agressive strategic gift stealing than we've seen in recent years.
As always, it was great to see everyone on Xmas Eve for the traditional gift/tamale opening ceremony. We've posted some pictures from the gathering on the Flickr site for your enjoyment and are promised some additional hi-def ones from Charles in the very near future.
Merry Xmas y'all!
