Holiday-ing
Dec. 10th, 2006 11:59 amDinner at Julie's last night was excellent, as always. Turkey moist and delicious, Fran's yummy sweet potatoes, also mashed potatoes, a variety of veggies, etc. No cranberry sauce, though; Julie, being Swedish, requires lingonberry! My pumpkin pudding turned out very well. Gifts were exchanged; as usual, Caroline had been madly baking and supplied us all with cookies to last, well, at least until her open house!
Today I did a bit of holiday decorating. I'm not doing a tree this year; my arm hurts too much to haul a tree up and down three flights of stairs and through the apartment, not to mention manœvering it into the stand and then decorating it. I've put a wreath over the fireplace, and I think I may get some garland, if there's any left at the place I usually get my tree. C. had packed her cookies in a box which she put in a dark pine green metal sleigh, so I filled that with tinsel (red, and white/gold), put a variety of red and white ornaments in it, and put it on the table on the landing outside my door. (With cats, tinsel is verboten where they can get at it.) There are a few more things I want to do, putting candles in the front windows and the like. Or maybe I'll just let Stacey do it when she comes in!
