We welcomed the newest family member to her first Christmas. I think she was impressed and shows early signs of being a party girl :)
Like everyone, much of our day is centred on specially prepared food, always a cold feast for our family in Australia. I don't ever recall having a hot Christmas lunch. Salads and seafood abound!
Having had a sick daughter in 2012, we are particularly thankful this Christmas that she is well. It is a time for our family to reflect on a God who continues to give us every good thing. He continues to give graciously and willingly, two thousand years after sending His most precious gift of His Son for us all.
I hope your Christmas is a special time of reflection and time with family, and that 2013 brings good health and happiness to you and yours.

ReplyDeleteI must say I tried both of your salads from a few years ago.
Everyone was SO impressed.

I am so glad your daughter is well and here is my prayer you and your entire family have a healthy 2013! Your salads look delicious - however, here in Michigan in the U.S. I am thankful for some snow...I love winter. The Ten Tenor version of "O Holy Night" is spectacular...I am checking out their website upon leaving my catching up on blogs...
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
