Our Traditional Christmas Dinner

A lthough we are stuck in COVID isolation and missing out on all the Christmas festivities this week, Sheila and I still managed to make our usual Christmas dinner for Christmas Eve.  We have plenty of leftovers for dinner on Christmas night too.   I was feeling well enough to do some cooking so we chose to celebrate Christmas with a nice quiet dinner together.  There is no one else I would rather be with in this situation or any situation so being stuck with her in isolation is no problem whatsoever.  Fortunately, we enjoy each other's company! I'm still feeling a bit lousy however I am feeling a bit better than yesterday so that is good.   My fever has broken and my O2 saturation levels are still in a good place in the upper 90s.  My throat still hurts even with all the cold medications I am taking and I just don't feel "right".  I suspect the cold medications are helping to keep my fever down as well as dampening some of the throat soreness.

S heila and I had a very nice and quiet Christmas Eve dinner here at home as we usually do each year.  Most of the horrendous weather is behind us and the power is back on in our house.  We do have branches down all around the house but we fared very well compared to others especially those who are still without power.  We only lost power for an hour and a half.   Today was a nice Christmas Eve spent at home ending with a nice dinner.  Well...  I may have something for dessert.... As I usually do, I made a rib roast for dinner.  We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh green beans with chopped garlic in oil, au jus, and dinner rolls.  It was pretty good food but the dinner with Sheila was very nice, as always.  It is always nice to make something special for dinner for special occasions and tonight was one of those occasions.

It is a beautiful Christmas Eve... the house is quiet except for soft Christmas music being played on our home theatre... the gifts are placed around the tree... comforting drinks are being served... as Santa makes his way around the globe to visit all the little children of the world, we are relaxing in the warmth of our home decorated for Christmas awaiting the children and our Christmas guests...  We have some gifts from Monticello and a dated letter from President Thomas Jefferson provided to us by timeless Santa... There are so many gifts that they are stacked against the wall, climbing toward the ceiling.... So... where are Lukey and Kenzie???  They are probably wondering when Christmas morning will finally arrive... I'm sure 6am will be here soon enough!   Okay... where is my drink?
