Some people celebrate Christmas for days if not weeks later as family travel back to the family home. Our family is one that celebrates in stages as family members arrive from different parts of the state. I have begun to like the habit of the extended festive season for Christmas is a happy time of the year. This year we had decided on an Italian theme for a bit of variety from the more tradition
al Christmas fare. To start, a platter, where conversation allows us to catch up. Thence, a combination of freshly cooked pastas in a variety of sauces. Side salads and dessert to finish. This year's chocolate tart dessert included a generous portion of a new recipe -- of whipped mousse. I can see that it will become a regular at our table. Bo
n bons essential items and even the donning of the hideous paper hats complete the meal. The reading and sharing of jokes that some of us recall from our childhood. Whilst some things change nothing changes. Christmas is good like that.
