We have had a quiet Christmas at home.
Christmas eve we went out driving to look at lights and luminarias with my mom. Not many people put themselves out decorating this year, so the pickings were slim. We did see a few good houses and we listened to some Christmas music and chatted. We also exchanged cards and presents.
After we dropped my mom off, we came home and had a dinner of cheese and bread, homemade sourdough. Dave's coworkers had sent a sympathy box full of soup and rolls and cookies, so we had some of that as well. Gray Kitty and I shared a can of albacore tuna, too. Dave opened a bottle of prosecco, the only wine in the house. (I don't drink anymore so he had a couple of glasses and put the rest in the fridge. )
We spent Christmas day in our pajamas. We didn't exchange presents this year but I did buy some candy, chocolate mostly, to put in our stockings.
Dave spent the day mixing up more dough, some for bread, some for pizza tomorrow. He also made rough puff pastry to make a tart for our dessert. He also made dinner, roast vegetables, gravy, chicken for me and vegetarian sausages for himself. Seems like he spent the whole day in the kitchen but I think he also got some time to focus on his latest video game too.
I spent the day making a kusudama ball, watching episodes of The Waltons, and napping. I did make lunch (a vegetarian omelet, beans, tortillas). But that was the extent of my participation in kitchen matters today. I did eat well, though I did eat way too much chocolate.
