Hi there, come on in! So glad to see you - and you brought some sweets, I see. Go ahead and put them in the kitchen with the rest of the holiday treats.
A bunch of folks are already here, helping me set up shop. So far we have quite the spread: Jenni whipped up a decadent rum cake, and I made the egg nog, in addition to my signature Bûche de Noël. jewell can't come, but she sent over some homemade tennis player-shaped cookies and of course, tea. Doesn't quite make up for her absence, but we'll take it!
What else ... there's Bobby's white chocolate peppermint martini fixins and Mr. X's Spanish cider. And CL is adding to the bar; I see she has some scotch and a beer with Sam's name on it. (Think some of y'all ought to plan to stay put overnight.)
Hmm, there's nothing for me to drink here ... teetotaling and holiday parties really don't mix!
As Pete noted at last year's party, this shindig is dog-friendly, smoker-friendly (that oughta please Ferru) and just-about-everything friendly, so make yourselves at home and have fun!
