This is my first Christmas away but not Neil's. We decided to ask our co-workers to join us for dinner at our place to celebrate. I convinced Neil to make his oh-so-yummy mulled wine and I wanted everyone else to try it as well. The cover charge was a bottle of red wine. We had 10 in total that night and all the bottles were emptied.

On the menu that night was oven-roasted chicken, mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, pasta, fried rice, blanched broccoli and carrots. The main feature was the mulled wine. Our guests brought an array of appies such as cheese, crackers, cakes, and fruits. Our main concern was not enough food so we were very happy when people were stuffed! We even had leftovers.
We put on Christmas music and movies as people were arriving and eating. After dinner, we decided to play some wii games, namely the dancing game. It was gold! Some people were reluctant to make a food of themselves, but the boys really showed off their dancing skills. I wonder if these are the same skills they showcase in the clubs.
It was a tiring and fun day. Who knows where we will be next Christmas, but I believe it's a time where there should be lots of people!
