Christmas Eve (Day & Night)

Christmas Eve it was just the two of us this year. It seemed kind of strange to not have anything going on. But we made do. We had a special breakfast. Doug had made Granny Murphy's raisin bread and he put a Christmas tree design in my coffee.

Christmas dinner was steak and potatoes.
The holly garnish is from our holly bush outside the kitchen window.

After dinner we opened gifts. Nothing fancy..just practical.

I got a step ladder, slippers, dish cloths, cookie sheets, steak knives, Michael Kors perfume & a cheese slate.

Doug got a photo album of our Amsterdam  trip, Gold Toe socks, self-healing cutting mat (for cutting his beer labels) a couple of CDs, new grates for his smoker and a new digital thermometer.
