Here’s hoping you had the merriest of Christmases!
If that’s how you celebrate.
And if not, then here’s hoping you’re having the happiest of holidays!

Even though our Christmas was a pretty low-key affair, we gave this dining room a little holiday workout.
A Christmas eve grilled cheese tomato soup comfort food family dinner.
And then on Christmas day – after the presents were opened – we had a lovely little brunch.

But as we close out 2023, I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you.
I mean, you’re still here!

You’ve stuck with me. And waited for me to return after a ridiculously long (and unannounced) hiatus.
And for that I am truly, deeply grateful!
