darchildreChristmas Eve so far has been great. Dad, Megan, and I had our traditional Christmas Eve breakfast of Cinnabons at the mall and last-minute Christmas shopping. (Mom, alas, had to work and Katie is in England with Eddie for Christmas this year. Katie, we miss you!) Then a nicely quiet afternoon full of reading and napping and last minute wrapping, and now we are preparing for dinner. Megan planned the menu this year - she had this recipe for fish cooked in paper bags with coconut milk that she wanted to try - so she's cooking while we all help out in the kitchen.
We don't often cook as a family. We tend to get in each other's way a lot, because there are five of us, and it's often easier to just let one or two people handle it. But tonight, it's been a joy. We should try to do that more often.
I hope those of you who celebrate are having an equally lovely holiday.
