'Twas the night before, night before, Christmas

    Today is the day to wrap it all up! It is time to tie the last beautiful bow the presents, go to the grocery for all the ingredients, and of course clean the house.  Tomorrow everyone will be here! The crazy part is, I am only hosting Christmas Eve! We have to pull out the big guns for the real deal (the moms). 
     The holidays for me are a blatant reminder of how blessed I am.  I can't express through a computer how thankful I am for my loving family and friends.  I don't know how I would function without you! And of course I am also thankful for the people who bother to read what I write!  I am thankful that I'm able to give gifts and have a warm house to share dinners in.  I realize that this isn't the case for everyone.

     On that note, I have been taking joy in the littlest things this week.  Like setting the table!  I am also on winter break and haven't been teaching this week, so I have to admit that makes my energy and enjoyment level much higher!
    For dinner tomorrow we are making beef wellington.  I wrote a post about it two weeks ago if you want to take a look back. I am also attempting a green bean casserole for the first time. Lastly, I am making decadent and delicious mini chocolate lava cakes.  On top I am putting a dollop of homemade whipped cream and sprinkling crushed candy canes.  My uncle is kind a chocolate fanatic, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make his year! I won't post this recipe until after Christmas, but if you want it before, write a comment and I will put it up.

  I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas Eve, Christmas, Hannukah, and anything else you are celebrating! Enjoy the people you are with and what they bring to the world.
