On December 20th we had our first Christmas dinner of the season. This would be our dinner with Margarit's side of the family. Shawn and Lisa came, as did my nephew Garrett. Sadly his sister Bethany and her partner Cody were unable to make it. We had a huge roast turkey, that had been in the oven all day. With it we had all the usual fixings.... stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and salad. It was a good feed, and we really enjoyed the visit.
During the evening Margarit upheld her old family tradition and lit a bunch of candles on our Christmas tree. These are not electric lights, but actual burning candles. Of course we stayed right beside the tree and paid very close attention to all the candles. They are only left to burn for a short time and then are extinguished and put away for next season. It looks pretty amazing I must say, even though it always makes me a little nervous.
