Our families are also very far away. I usually make a log, made creme brulee instead this year. I think one is as decadent and indulgent as the other. I only make them at Christmas. On Christmas eve, I put out nuts, a big cheese board, crackers and breads, veggies, ect and we grazed. Cooked a lot next day. But the nice thing about being home, with no guests is taking a nap when you want and delaying dinner if you want. And I did.
I've read 2 Ruth Fielding books, and worked on my shawl. There are 16 pattern pieces, I have 5 left! Ruth Feilding was a series written in the 1910's - 1930's for girls. There are 30 books, we've managed to get all but the last 8. It's easy reading, perfect for lying in front of the fireplace. DH and oldest DD, (who works at a Starbucks branch inside a department store and says they are very, very busy) are off to work, I'm going to do laundry, clay, lace, and write thank you notes.
