MERRY CHRISTMAS....
You are most likel...Hi, Sis,<br /><br /><br />MERRY CHRISTMAS....<br /><br />You are most likely winding down now... Her is only 3:30... SUNNY and COLD.<br /><br />Spending the holidays in Galena, a small town three hours west of Chicago. SNOWED yesterday... SOOO pretty. Today spent a few hours sledding down the mini mountains or LARGE hills. <br /><br />Taking a breather for an hour or so and then off to work out.<br />Yes, even on vacation I work out. Baked up a storm all week and have been eating like crazy so I need to work it off.<br /><br />WHAT FABULOUS food for your holiday. I would definitely have to drop ten pounds before visiting. BUT what fun to put them back on. LOL.<br /><br />BIG hugs from you little Bro.<br /><br />Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073226012013539726.post-2401684214299780092012-12-22T09:45:25.094+01:002012-12-22T09:45:25.094+01:00Hi, I'm thrilled to find your blog this mornin...Hi, I'm thrilled to find your blog this morning.

No, haven't been to any big parties like that. <br /><br />I'm impressed if you're one of the people making it happen in the kitchen. Tony Bourdain, the chef, says it's like 'hell' in the kitchen. I like that you call it the Kitchen Dance. (Have you read any of Bourdain's books?)<br /><br />Hope your holidays are great! Good luck with the sales of that anthology that you and Roland are in!D.G.

I vowed that would be the last time I join a Christmas party. <br />Will spend it, from now on, at home, with my mother, my aunt, and the pictures of our dog.Jay Paolonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647807643476130105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073226012013539726.post-90001253827591392622012-12-14T04:43:47.061+01:002012-12-14T04:43:47.061+01:00I've been to a few Christmas parties, but I tr...I've been to a few Christmas parties, but I try to stay away from behind the scenes.

I was chief cook and bottle washer for 200 once for our Christmas party in South Africa - it was exceedingly hot and that made life very difficult - I did it .. but I think it wasn't the most successful party I've helped with or put on ... I love being behind the scenes ... <br /><br />Love deer and that roast sounds positively delicious ... <br /><br />The thought of a Norwegian December horrifies me .. way too much partying!! Have fun though ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073226012013539726.post-14548779319107803692012-12-13T15:38:51.323+01:002012-12-13T15:38:51.323+01:00Saturday, I plan to do some baking.

We do Chrismakah at my house since we have a co-mingling of Jews, Christians, and Pagans in my family. <br /><br />Happy Christmas!<br /><br />Hugs and chocolate,<br />Shelly<br /><br />Sir Poops and Hair Ball will be getting in contact with you soon.
