Christmas Pictures

First, to give some closure to A Christmas Carol. I had a great time working on that show despite all of the drama that accompanied it. And believe me that show had more than its fair share. The two ladies that I worked most closely with were Susan (the Stage Manager) and Kelly (the Assistant Stage Manager). For our last Christmas Party the three of us planned a Secret Santa Party - but with a twist. Secret Santa Goes to Hawaii.

Next, Christmas Eve. The highlight here was pulling out all of the Christmas baking that Janet and I had made - and realizing, as many do, that we had made way to much. This picture is to illustrate the enormous pile it was.

On Christmas Eve the Kotlar family tradition is to open one present, and it is something to do with sleep wear. We changed into our pj's and played the new game Outburst Remix.

Christmas morning came early enough (but not to early - thank you Kotlars!). We opened present and then ate breakfast. This is a shot of me opening the beautiful necklace Logan gave me.

For Christmas Dinner we prepared a "Pre-stuffed, Cook from Frozen, Butterball Turkey". It was great. It took almost no work at all and tasted fantastic. This is a picture of the bird right out of the oven. Even the stuffing was great!

We had a great time! And my first time ever Boxing day shopping. There are some good deals. But you have to learn the tricks. Assess the store before you enter. If they have the doors half closed and are only letting in a few people at a time - keep moving. If that is okay - check the sale. Not all stores are giving things away. If it will be that price next week -keep moving. Lastly check the line to the till. If it is too long how fast is it moving. Us three ladies were very successful and in and out in 2 hours!
