The magic of Christmas is always enhanced with a fresh snowfall, so this year the house seems particularly Christmassy. I was in charge of cooking the spiral cut ham on the bbq. In testing the meat thermometer, I found it was out by 32 degrees! Christmas Eve being Monday, there was time for last minute trips to the grocery store, the hardware store for a new meat thermometer, and a drive to Waverly Mansion to pick up Wendy’s Mom. Wendy was extra busy since we were having our daughter Erin, and her boyfriend Jake, Wendy’s friend Patricia and her boyfriend Greg over for snacks and dinner. A lovely time was had by all. We opened our Santa gifts, since Christmas Day we are going over to Wendy’s brother Doug’s for ‘round two’. Losing weight is not in the cards, at least not this month!
