T Stands for Pennsylvania Christmas

After a late start due to fridge , illness, and the trip down from Hell, we arrived at the Eldest's to spend Christmas and New Year's with her.

Christmas morning began late. The joys of Christmas with adult children. They all fussed when I wanted the second annual foot picture. But a sharp, "Put your foot in!" and everyone hopped to it. Gifts were opened and then cinnamon rolls for breakfast courtesy of the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

Christmas dinner was late in the day. I had ordered a Christmas dinner package from Omaha Steak.  The only grocery store where the Eldest lives is Walmart and I didn't want to go shopping the day before Christmas Eve. (The Young One and I were sick with colds so we stayed an extra day at the hotel to rest and recover). The Eldest has also been unemployed since April so I didn't want her to spend her unemployment check on anything besides her necessities.

The Omaha Steak dinner was fabulous. All we had to do was heat and eat. Spiral Ham, to die for Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Glazed Fancy Carrots (the carrots came in all sorts of colors). The dinner was rounded out by Crescent rolls (again courtesy of the Dough Boy), Sparkling White Grape Juice in pink glasses that once belonged to Doris, and for dessert, a Vanilla Cake, the dessert portion of the Omaha Steak dinner.  While waiting for dinner to heat, I folded red napkins to look like Christmas trees or Santa hats.

After dinner, we played some board games I had brought along as recommended by the Young One. We played Apples to Apples and then Tsuro. 

All in all a very, lovely holiday. I hope your holidays were nice, too.
