White Christmas

Merry Christmas to all out there, hope all is well with you this year. We've had a strange and disjointed holiday season, with mom gone for almost a month taking care of important stuff, so it's been hard to fire up and really get into the holiday spirit, but now she's home and we'll get to enjoy the holidays. She flew back on Saturday, so we got to spend Christmas Eve together baking cookies and watching holiday movies, and today we'll have our usual Christmas supper together - this year we decided to make a ham, which is unusual because I never think of cooking a ham. It's not usually high on my list of meal favorites, but we found a nice nitrate free ham at the Coop and we should be able to make it work. We'll go heavy on the vegetables and sides.

And, to help fuel the Christmas spirit, we're getting loads of snow! I can't recall ever having a white Christmas, but this year we've been getting a fair amount of snow, and sure enough, a storm rolled in last night we woke up to loads of the white stuff. As of this writing, it's still coming down in a steady stream. They're saying we're going to get 4-8 inches, but it usually ends up being more than they forecast. As long as the wood box is full and the fire is raging, we're good to go. I think it may be time to hit the slopes.
