It really was kind of a crazy day, but everything worked out fine.
We prepped all the veggies and everything for dinner tomorrow, so it will be a snap. The only reason I'm in here now is because I unwrapped the turkey and it was a solid block of ice inside, so now I'm running cold water in it to loosen that up -- it's not frozen all the way through, just still a bit frosty inside, and after a bit here I'll go rinse it out and it will be all ready to go for tomorrow.
My crazy sibling has found some sense and called around to everyone and said, "Hey, I'm not mad at anyone, I'm just going to stay at my own home and have a little Christmas Eve thing here, no problems, no worries." So, that's a good thing, everyone is much relieved because honestly, our family is so together, the idea of one of us turning away from the others really hurt us all, but now that is not what happened. Thank God, and I mean it, somehow He must have shown her the light, because I believe it took some honest Divine intervention to get her to change! *whew*
We had the easiest time ever setting up Santa, the only thing DH had to assemble was a mini-trampoline, which took him all of 5 minutes. You couldn't even get to the tree before we put the Santa stuff out, now it's even worse, although Santa did bring a lot of books, DVDs, and computer games this year !
All my brothers and sisters are making dibs on my fruitcakes, so I think I'm going to have to make some more! We've already demolished one, gleefully. I wish I had more blueberries dried already, then I could make some Friday, as it is, it will have to wait until Saturday the earliest as it takes forever for the berries to dry. I think I need to do some more cranberries too. Perhaps I should look into one of those dehydrater things? :hmm:
Off to clean up that turkey and go to bed. Can't wait to see the little ones' excitement in the morning.
Merry Christmas, and God bless us, every one.
