A cake for Jesus Hmmm...what a wonderful tradition..Sandy very rarely do I ever add any new family traditions...but my boys are very young and this would be wonderful...do you mind?? Merry Christmas Sandy

Mama - My grandmother would have loved that!

Thank You Sandy...I baked a coconut cake for tomorrow..I'll explain to the boys that the cake is to celebrate the birth of Jesus...they will like that and it will become a tradition...I think its a great tradition to start for these boys...I'm sure when they are old men they will continue...I'll also tell them about you and how your grandmother always baked a cake for Jesus...Thank You Sandy.

Merry christmas my dearest Cheryl. Hope that you are well and feeling the holiday spirit !

Delicious-sounding menus! I usually do a full, traditional Christmas dinner spread, but scaled back this year, with a completely different menu (= much easier)! Christmas Eve dinner -- homemade lasagna, salad, crusty bread, and white cake with white icing to celebrate parents' 50th anniversary -- and mimic their actual 1965 wedding cake (yes, they married on Xmas Eve). Christmas Dinner: Salisbury steak with brown (beef) gravy, scalloped potatoes, green peas, shoe peg corn, and dinner rolls. For Xmas breakfast, we had an assortment of mini ham and sausage biscuits and sausage balls for grazing. I scrapped the Xmas breakfast casserole this year, too! My mother said she actually preferred this year's pared-down menu. :)

Vetwife..I've scaled back also to easier dishes for Christmas, getting older and raising two small boys requires some cut backs yet with still providing traditions for the boys.

Another thing we do here is a few days before Christmas the boys and I go thru their toy boxes, they choose all the toys they no longer want and we bag them up. After all the gifts are opened Christmas morning we load the bagged up toys into the van along with a tupperwear of homemade blueberry pancakes, about 75...and drive 3 miles to the women and children's shelter where we drop them off for the kids there. My boys are now old enough that they understand the children in the shelter have no home and often no toys so they look forward to sharing their toys.

Too bad I failed so terriably with my eldest son, the boys father.....of course Amiee reminds me..Mom you didn't fail with Michael....Michael failed with his boys.

We need a major old toy cleanout here. Great idea! You didn't fail Mama. As my son gets older I realize that free will is a hobgoblin of parenting. Lol.

Sandy...just want to let you know the Birthday Cake to Jesus was a huge hit for the boys...they thought it wonderful but next year little Chip says make chocolate because Jesus will like it better..LOL.

Over endulged this year.

Prime Rib Roast, Yorkshire Pudding, Lobster Tails, Restuffed Baked Potatoes, Tossed Salad, Jello Salad, Green Beans Almandine, Baked Ham, Pasta and Meatballs, Rolls, Cookies and Desserts. LOL Cost a small fortune but it's Christmas.

Now the challenge of cleaning all that table linen, white mind you.

Sin, there are no words to describe the awesomeness of that menu. As for the table linen...start with a ....LOL...Y ou know exactly what you're doing haha...Happy New Year Sin.
