Ho Ho Ho and Bounty....

Despite Kim and I believing that this was one of our most mellow holiday seasons (with the exception of Italy), we found ourselves busily cooking and preparing to become company
AND to receive company.
We have begun a holiday tradition of inviting friends for dinner. This year we met for Christmas Eve; last year it was the day after Christmas. It is a gathering of very special people, great conversation, laughter, good food and wine. What greater gift than having
fantastic company exists?

We were treated to a wonderful Christmas day gathering at friends
Chris, Mike, Conor, and Kevin's home.
What great decorations!

And more happy friends gathering....

May you have been as luckily gathered as we were.
On to 2011 and.....
