Coming down the stairs, Derek and I were both a little surprised by the quiet magic of Christmas morning, the first time we are spending the day here in our little house. We started with homemade vegan cinnamon rolls hot from the oven and plenty of coffee and candle light. It was a dreary day outside the window, but comfy and inviting on the couch for a day of stockings and gifts. I love a slow Christmas morning in pajamas, sitting by the tree with good treats!
We made an early dinner of mashed potatoes, stuffing, brussels sprouts, butternut squash soup, and a bit of turkey for Derek left from a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with friends. For the evening, we settled beside the tree to talk with family and friends at various times in their Christmas day. With some {v}eggnog and hot-buttered rum, we snuggled up for watching It's a Wonderful Life.
I sure hope you are having a warm and cozy day too. Merry Christmas!
