Silent Night

The best time of the year is here again. Glitzy Christmas decorations this year (of which I am no fan of). Magical triangular emblems of Christmas trees. Frantic yet cheery Christmas shopping. All the uplifting Christmas carols that pervaded our senses with exhilaration and joy. And more importantly, the sense that the year end is nigh, and it is time to wrap up and take stock of the year in retrospection.

Our little family had always been spending Christmas Eve in its true spirit - with warmth, intimacy, tranquillity and quiescent peace - and always with a simple yet hearty meal. 

This year, Hubby laid out the table in a cheerful, delightful setting and we set up the table with a modest meal of pasta, mushroom soup and a sparkling grape juice that Big Bee enjoyed tremendously (we told her she was drinking some sort of wine!). 





We had a wonderful time over dinner and looked forward to more Christmases to come.
