We are planning a big Christmas, not sure yet what we are serving, but I am sure it will be good. 

So glad we sold the RV and got to move into something bigger so I can entertain at my house instead of taking everything somewhere else. 

I have my Christmas tree up, decorations everywhere, a couple of poinsettia setting on the table, & bar ready for Christmas. 

2021 ends with lots of good memories 

2022 may be even better.
