Sweating Through Christmas

Saturday evening, the dining room was once against decked in red and green, the sweet aroma of cinnamon filled the house as cooking had just commenced for the day and dessert was finishing up in the oven. In many ways it was deja vu from Thursday nights supper. However this dinner took on a more adult feel, kind of like when you finally move up from the kids table to the regular table at family meals. Alcohol and appetizers lined the table as guests walked in. A tiny tree with lights and several local decorations helped bring the Christmas feeling closer to home.

About the only unwelcome addition to our evening Christmas celebration was the heat. I have never been to a Christmas party before where a fan was blowing out of necessity. Needless to say, sweating in Christmas has become a very new tradition and one I hope is not repeated many years over.
