I can’t quite believe it’s Christmas Eve and I’m here writing my Christmas blog post.
Roaring fires, good food, and the air filled with warmth.
Oh man, I love Christmas.
I love it even if every year at Christmas I'm reminded how bad I am at wrapping gifts.
The presents are usually “wrapped” in some sort of way and then I pile on the tape.
Tape is amazing.
Another option is the Tootsie Roll Twist — doesn’t matter the size or shape of the present.
If all else fails: Gift bag. Gift bags are magic.
Anyways, I’m also busy whipping up a feast for my family.
This year the menu includes a beef roulade stuffed with all sorts of delicious things (I know, awesome), Garlic Thyme Potatoes Anna, Baked Spinach, Maple-Glazed Butternut Squash, Chocolate Avocado Chia Pudding, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
I come from a large family where everyone loves to eat well (and drink good wine).
So yeah, a lot of pressure on Mike...
As I look back at the year gone by, there is one thing that stands out the most: YOU GUYS!
I am so very grateful that you guys read this blog, enjoy it, share it, and engage with me on here, Twitter, Facebook,Instagram, and Pinterest.
I really hope that in some way it enriches your life as much as it enriches mine to write it.
Thank you.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteI wish I could come as that dinner sounds like a winner to me. We are actually smoking a Rib Eye Roast, can't wait! Great getting to know you better this past year. #WolfPackRocks
Merry Christmast Mike! Your recipes certainly do enrich our table, that's for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Mike from Croatia!!! And thanks for tasty recipes :-)
ReplyDeleteMike, your post put a big smile on my face! did you know that I am very famous in my family and also with my friends because of my legendary lack of skills wrapping gifts? It became a kind of a joke now, so everyone expects the most pathetic, horribly wrapped gifts if I wrap them myself - a 5 year old with attention deficit disorder will do a better job than me. It is absolutely pathetic. But, it's the intention that counts, right?
