I set up the Christmas tree on Friday night. It’s lid up and decorated with ornaments. Though I have injured my shoulder/back/thigh when I was lifting the heavy armchair (the brown chair as seen on the picture below) in preparation for tonight’s party.
Update: The dinner was a hit. It went well into 2am. We did have a small incidence of smoky oven. But at least we didn’t trigger the smoke detector like our neighours did (close to midnight). Otherwise the food was well done. Turkey is always juicy and tender (thanks to Brandy!), Katherine’s deep fried dumpling was fantastic. I’m glad my butternut squash soup and philo pastries turn out very well.
Thanks everyone for bringing the food!
