Which meant, on Christmas Day, it was leftovers. <br /><br />You have the best of both worlds. The blending of both cultures is a wonderful idea. It seems a veritable smorgasbord in your house. <br /><br />You had a nice holiday and that's a joyous outcome. I am blessed and I had a very quiet Christmas Day.<br /><br />And now for the Veggie Movie....<br /><br />Take care, Tina.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-63942866201192667482013-12-29T06:38:04.430-07:002013-12-29T06:38:04.430-07:00My wife's family is Dutch-American, and we do ...My wife's family is Dutch-American, and we do the same thing -- celebrate the 24th with the entire family.

I'm adjusting to a much smaller kitchen and buying new (cheaper) brands of foods and the different organization of the kitchen, so my (already poor) cooking skills have been pretty... terrible. The best thing I've made is a frozen pizza that I put in the oven for 12 minutes and even that was a little crispy. (Oops.) Since I messed up the pancakes last time, I was pretty proud the only thing I burned was myself. haha That wasn't the best part- just easiest to explain.<br /><br />Also, to reply to your comment that replied to mine on that one post, I do have a subscribe my email gadget. It's on the left hand side, between my followers and my NaBloPoMo badge. (My sidebars are a bit messy right now but I plan on fixing that soon, now that I have a laptop with reliable internet connection. haha)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507642753163503531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-69239259259520692262013-12-27T13:48:56.313-07:002013-12-27T13:48:56.313-07:00french toast and bacon....i wanna be swedish....sm...french toast and bacon....i wanna be swedish....smiles...we played chess as well...i found my old wood board from high school.....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-84294816004076476712013-12-27T12:15:07.370-07:002013-12-27T12:15:07.370-07:00We've kind of let Veggie Tales fade away.

The videos from the last few years have just been so poor in comparison to the early stuff, I just quit getting them.<br /><br />I hope your MoS opinion is that it was a piece of garbage.<br /><br />We got Munchkin this year for Christmas, and it has become a family obsession. Hilarious game!<br />Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
