Whew, they all left! I love our Christmas traditions, but they are exhausting. My wife is napping. My daughter, son, and his fiance arrived on Christmas Eve, and stayed for two days (just left). And we hosted a Christmas dinner party for 13! 21.72-lb turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, gravy, green salad, cranberry-marshmallow jello "salad", green-marshmallow jello salad (family recipes), wine, sparkling cider, pumpkin pie with cool whip, chocolate cake, coffee, tea, and delicious cookies. Team cooking and team dishwashing made all the preparations and dishes go faster. Thank you, team!
