Family-less Chrimbo

Only mere hours before we were booked to leave on our flight to Lisbon for a Portuguese Christmas, it was tragically canceled. No yummy goodies for us, but at least we were not stuck in Prague like my friend Edell who nearly missed Christmas altogether. So Christmas Eve morning I went out in the cold, wind and snow to buy one of the last chickens available, scrapped together enough stuff to make stuffing and dug out an extra can of pumpkin to make a pie. Not traditionally Christmas, but it is holiday enough to suffice for us. It was our first white Christmas and since we had heat and food, we tucked in to watch movies, work another 4000 piece puzzle and made the best of it with our lone Christmas decoration that I had made myself. Ben even let me sing Christmas songs, since I do like to sing them all year!
