This Christmas has been wonderful so far. We’ve had the typical ups and downs, mostly regarding weather and travel. My parter in Red Velvet Crime is stranded in Little Rock but will hopefully be on her way here soon. It really isn’t Christmas if some are missing.
Our Christmas got underway last night, with a small family dinner and some baking.
I made the crockpot dressing.
My husband cooked a pot of beans.
Little Boo made a cake for Santa. We cut it short and used a mix. I had planned to make mother’s recipe from scratch but since I have had the plague, we went the easy route. Santa likes it just as well.
She adds her own special touches.
We left this out for Santa last night and I guess he enjoyed it. His plate was clean except for a few crumbs. He even drank the milk. Surprising since I have it on good word that he is lactose intolerant.
Then the kids posed for pictures. 
The main thing I can say about our Christmas Eve?
This morning was an early venture into packages, gifts, and coffee. We had planned to be up at 6:00, mainly just because I like to go by a schedule. I overslept a few minutes but it was all good. I had breakfast already ready to go in the oven. Our favorite casserole is so easy.
Easy Breakfast Casserole
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 pkg cream cheese
- 1 can crescent rolls
Brown sausage and drain, crumbled. Add cream cheese and stir until it is melted. Pour into a baking dish and top with crescent rolls all spread out. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes.
We also have non-alcoholic mimosas. I mix the sparkling grape juice with orange juice. Not until we branch out to the extended family do I need the real stuff.
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas today. Enjoy your family, your gifts, and some good food. We have big plans for the upcoming year and hope that some of you are involved!
Again, Merry Christmas from Red Velvet Wisdom.
