A New Tradition....

In the past, we've hosted a Christmas Eve gathering for family - after our church services.  This year we decided to have an earlier gathering - a Christmas Eve brunch.  It was really fun and even more delicious.

We had all of the ingredients for a festive time

friends and family










A picture-perfect fire


And lots of delicious food:

panettone for french toast


Pepperoni rolls for my brother-in-law


The spread included: spanish omelette, empanadas, fresh fruit, fennel and orange salad, spinach and artichoke dip, french toast panettone, chipped beef gravy with potatoes, breakfast sausages, and baked eggs florentine with baguette



Everyone brought something and no one left hungry! 



I hope this will become a new Christmas tradition.  It was a different sort of party, with all of the guests leaving before 5:00 pm.  I love when our little house is filled with great food, even better people, and lots of Christmas cheer!

    Sounds like brunch was fun. You could invite some of your overseas friends next year...hint hint
