Twas the Night before Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family who read my blog. I just got home from work (I worked from 7:00 to 12:00 today) and I'm waiting for my sister, my niece and nephew and my brother to come over later. We were very surprised to get out of work early today. There was only 9 of us there and NO ONE from management, thus no one to make a decision of whether to close or not, but around 10:30, the Judge called and she told us that she wasn't coming in and that we could all go home at noon...YIPPEE!

The menu for this evening goes as follows:

Homemade Vegetable Soup
(made by my brother)
Cold Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce
Hot Wings with Ranch Dressing
Hot Artichoke Dip
Baked Brie with Raspberry Jam

The only thing that I need to do later is get the brie ready to bake. The wings and artichoke dip are ready to be put in the oven.

We are also indulging in either Pomengranate Bellinis, Pomengranate Martinis or Pomengranate Champagne, made with Prosecco.

But before all the festivities start, I think it's time for a nap.....later...
