Merry Christmas

The prettiest Xmas tree - ignore the bad focus

How it all comes together

It must be the miracle of Christmas

A full day at the office

then the rush to buy Christmas gifts at the very last minute on Xmas Eve

How I ever threw together a boeufe bourguinon, roasted potatoes with Herbs du Provence, salad and Cote du Rhone

at the last minute for my small family of two adult children I'll never know...

maybe it has something to do with 2 decades plus of practice.

With no time to pull out the fine china and sterling silver it all seemed rather pedestrian

But it worked for our simple family of three.

A Very Simple Family Christmas Eve Dinner

Our small family of three enjoyed a simple evening a trois together

and I hope that all of you who celebrate Christmas enjoyed your family too

Wishing all of you and yours a wonderful Christmas
