This year we had a very quiet, modest Christmas. We had no guests. It was just my wife, the dogs, and me.
I looked at it sort of as we do our usual Sunday with a late morning brunch and earlyish supper, not lavish but nice. Except with Christmas decorations and present opening.
I received three DVDs: Nina Foch’s course for actors and filmmakers; We’re Not Dressing, a musical version of Barry’s The Admirable Creighton, Bing Crosby’s first movie also featuring Burns & Allen; and Damsel in Distress, a Fred Astaire picture that has the last movie score composed by George Gershwin to be released before his death, also featuring Burns & Allen. I also received a music CD and a voucher good for one class of my choice, presumably a cooking, cheesemaking, or brewing class.
For brunch I made good use of the Southern Care package we receive annually from dear old friends: I made eggs, biscuits, and country ham with redeye gravy.
In the evening we had a simple dinner of roast chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas. Birthday cake was later.
That sounds lovely, Dave. I’m glad you shared that.
