Christmas Dinner

We have always been with family on Christmas and enjoyed the traditional big Christmas dinner, usually ham, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, creamed corn, and all of the trimmings including a variety of desserts. However, since Carole and I are in Tucson, Arizona, and our family is spread around the country in Kansas, Indiana, Michigan, Washington, California, and Texas, there were just the two of us in Tucson for "Christmas Dinner" this year.

We certainly didn't want to be without a memorable Christmas Dinner, but it only made sense to keep it small. So we prepared a rolled pork loin roast, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and steamed broccoli. Of course, we served dinner with a glass of white wine.

Notice the bright desert sunshine coming in the dining room window of "The Bus".

We may have "kept it small", but we did enjoy a very nice Christmas Dinner . . . although it would have been so much nicer to have had our family share it with us.

Merry Christmas to all!
