Family left after dessert at 5 PM,I had put away all spoilable food, ran 1 dishwasher full and I laid down on the couch at about 5:15 and immediately fell asleep. Woke up with a start at 8:30 PM, thought I had slept all night .

Now I can go and clean up the rest of the kitchen. I hope you all had a great day. I know I did.

I'm tired too!! This is my first xmas at home in 6 yrs and I had Kelli's friend Marie & her family over , plus Billy and one of her co workers who had nowhere to go as his family isn't here. After dinner they played with the Wii. I had never made a xmas ham before but it came out great. Also made mashed potatoes, black eyes, green beans, dressing, gravy & dessert. I'm only used to cooking for 2 so it was a challenge.

Hope everyone had a great day. shaggy

Another exhausted hostess here. All worth it, though. I hope everyone who celebrated had a nice holiday.

We had 14 in the house yesterday, and the last left at 9PM. We just left the china and crystal for today---no way no how were we getting to it yesterday.

Thanksgiving is my holiday to host, so I was a very happy guest this time around!

LOL, Shaggy! Things have been extra busy this year as our son is home for the week from South Korea, where he is an ESL teacher. Twice before Christmas Eve, we had 12 or 13 for dinner, when his friends came to visit. Some of these kids (mid-twenties now) have been like our own children, as they have been friends with Devin since childhood and spent loads of time at our house.
