Wishing all that celebrate a very Merry Christmas!
We don’t celebrate, but still have snow. 
Christmas Eve dinner, which we don’t celebrate, will be prime rib roast, mashed potatoes, and my award winning green bean recipe. Hubs agreed that I could have a martini, too!
As it turned out, we just received a load of gifts from our son’s girlfriend. They both came for a visit 
and Aniella suggested we open the gifts as she does on Christmas morning. We will.
I feel like a kid again! Hope Santa is good to you all.

Merry X Mas wishes. While we do not celebrate X mas as much as Christians do, but due to kids' interest and Media influence, we have Christmas Tree, and we placed Chocolate Cream Biscuits and Chocolates beneath the tree, so that if Santa comes, he can have those.
As for Hot chocolate, we assumed he would have his fill at some other homes!!
Your dinner sounds fantastic.
The dog in the picture is either too thoughtful or doesn't seem to enjoy the snow that much!

It is good for some retailers and perhaps very good for others!!
People also buy Mugs and even caps/mufflers online around X-Mas !

How wonderful! It definitely was Sid! I feel it in my witchy bones. I hope the spirts allow Martin to enter for a visit. Your purple tree has the right vibes.

@arunima25 That's an awesome gift. Men, even those like my husband and younger son who don't drink much, love to have their bars well set up.

@DianneN I got him a nice set of bottle openers for his bar and a beautiful ceramic bottle for decoration up there in his bar. He loved them. He is very much fond of maintaining his bar though he doesn't drink much.

We got fire, we finally fixed our stove just for Christmas. We don't celebrate either, but do the dinner stuff. Frozen Lasagna will never have tasted so good. I am actually not sure, may be homemade, brother is weird in his moods. I know lasagna and he said spinach, as a ingredient, so maybe he will make homemade or could be a variation. He usually does something like that. Best of both worlds.

I hope Santa is good to you as well. We get to give this year which my kids don't know yet and aren't expecting anything.
We had a few flurries today but I'm hoping we won't get snow before we have to take the dogs to my daughter's house. It will be questionable already whether we can get the turkey into our car by ourselves. If it snows it could be that much worse. But I know the kids like the snow as does Santa.

Good morning! I’m up early today!
That sounds like a nice way to begin the Christmas Day.
It’s raining and windy and going to be warm today with a high of 60! Then an Arctic blast for tomorrow.
Thanks! That’s our older son’s rescue dog. He is well loved and loves his new family.
Enjoy your day!

@Tampa_girl7 From my butcher. I ordered that and a rack of lamb, and when he delivered them, told us it was his Christmas gift to us for being such good customers through the years.
