We had Caramel Apple Breakfast Pudding (recipe from New Hope Bed & Breakfast) for breakfast. It’s put together the night before, so it should be a shoo-in for Christmas morning—but only if you remember to put it in the oven! We had a late breakfast, but everyone enjoyed it.
Then on to making lentil loaf and green beans for the Christmas feast at Bob and Pat’s house. We all had a great time at the celebration, and everyone made Chris and Shawn and Anara feel very welcome. The usual crowd were gathered: in addition to Bob and Pat, we had Hardy and Judy, Jan and Steve, John and Sandy, and Jean. With the five of us, that made fourteen for dinner. It’s great that Bob and Pat’s home and hearts could make room for everyone.
After a great dinner Jean led some of us on a walk around the neighborhood. We got to see everyone’s decorations and landscaping, including some very unusual trees. We heard the parrots gathered across the way in the treetops.
Next we watched a heartwarming Hallmark movie called The Christmas Choir. It is loosely based on a true story of homeless men who formed a choir and earned money for Christmas.
By the time we got home, people were too tired to open Christmas presents, so we decided to have our gift giving in the morning.
