Christmas Eve at Light Forest's

The family loaded into the trusty Subaru and headed to Light Forest's abode in a sister state late this afternoon for an evening of food, fun and fellowship. Once there the camera was held hostage as the hosts are now shy but we were able to grab some shots of the delectable food including Prime Rib, Country Ham, homemade egg nog and an assortment of cookies made by the Pastry Chef.

Here is a small sample of the goodies:

The Prime Rib was a masterpiece, cooked to perfection by Light Forest. SisIggy, her brothers and her Heirs especially devoured that portion on the left while the Pastry Chef and I are full-heartedly from the right.

John-Boy (he doesn't mind using his real handle) provided
the Junior Johnson-cured country ham. That I knew it was
a NASCAR driver's company didn't bode well in some circles
but Johnson did have a nice product for LF to serve.

We washed it all down with a high-grade homemade egg nog concoction prepared by and in the aforementioned Light Forest's ample kitchen. There were two varieties, one with Jack and the other, generic. I really enjoyed the light version.












The Pastry Chef had friends over earlier in the week for a cookie party. Here are a few examples of the delicacies provided:

We missed getting back home to hear our adorable pets talk at midnight but want our hosts to know that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wish them and you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
