If they come mid summer we have a full blown Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. I use my neighbours outside wood stove and we cook the turkey in the big oven and then all the veggies on top. Of course what really helps is we have garden fresh salad fixings, and usually everbearing strawberries for a short cake instead of Christmas cake. My friend and her husband join us and we have a wonderful time! One year even my Hubby's brother and wife were here. That made it so special ( Ruth has since passed away). None of our family live near us and it is 1 or more days driving for anyone to come and visit us, so when some one can make it we kill the proverbial fatted calf!<br />Other times we invite singles or other couples to share the holiday meals with us, like Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter. Anytime you have friends to eat is a celebration to me.Kootenay Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579468777202638825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-70125992075749238732013-02-17T00:28:18.693-08:002013-02-17T00:28:18.693-08:00My favorite celebrations are Christmas and Easter,...My favorite celebrations are Christmas and Easter, times when family get together.<br />aaronandnoella@shaw.caNoella Ossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-63095844817109141962013-02-16T21:35:53.416-08:002013-02-16T21:35:53.416-08:00Wow!

One thing this youngin' hasn't figured out how to do yet is have hot meals ready to serve to an unforeseen number of people who could follow you home from church once you start inviting!<br />Thanks so much for all your work and more so, the heart with which you do it:)<br />CharleneCharlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241100012614870043noreply@blogger.com
