Holidays are Coming!!

There is no doubt in my mind that this is my favorite time of the year. The holidays are upon us and no, this isn’t my favorite just because of the gifts. What the holidays mean to me is family as I’m sure it does to you too. For Chef and I, what’s extra special at this time is that with our new house, we are the hosts. And I intend to make these holidays fabulous.

As visitors for the past couple of years, all we’ve really been able to do is bring a dish and enjoy the festivities the way it’s given. Chef is a great host even during non-holiday occasions. He sets the mood with music. He’s a great conversationalist, and most of all, he prepares great food. I’m not sure what I really bring LOL but I think I serve the people and play with the kids. Oh, and I wash the dishes Heheh.

Well, this year, I picked the menu, I’m most likely going to be part of the execution of this menu as well. I’m going to tackle my first turkey. Got a lot of kitchen toys from Bed Bath & Beyond. There’s more shopping this weekend for decorations. Everything to set the tone for the holidays.

But most importantly, who are we setting the tone for? For family. Despite one big tragic moment for the family this year, there is still plenty to be thankful for and plenty to praise the Lord for. Ms C’s blessing is the biggest for us with Um and Lil HRH finally here. And basically, what I want this season is to surround ourselves with family, share the love and the laughter, be together to celebrate the people we have around us, and to celebrate our Creator and all His glory.

Woohoo! Happy holidays everybody! Let the celebrations begin!
