We had Christmas dinner at my house. So, I got to cook the turkey. This was a damn good turkey. I realized that I didn't offer any of the leftovers to anyone. I didn't mean to be greedy - it just happened. Using the maple syrup for the basting was amazing. It left pan dripping that made the best gravy I've ever had. The cornbread stuffing was better than I expected - no need for the Stovetop. I also made the red cabbage recipe I made a few weeks ago and plain ole' mashed potatoes. Both were good too.

I was able to take the two pictures below before anyone arrived. After people showed up, I was so busy I didn't get pictures of anything else. People brought tons of other stuff but I'm so stuffed and sleepy now I can't remember who brought what. I know my mom brought a pomegranate cranberry sauce that was great and I loved Judy's sweet potatoes.

While we opened gifts, (a long and drawn out operation in my family - the way it should be) I had a slide show of old photos running on the T.V. We ended up spending more time laughing at the photos than anything else. All things considered, it was a very pleasant Christmas.
