Merry Christmas!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I took these photos at the Union Square Holiday Market! It's such a wonderful place. The vendors are placed together in a maze-like area, and the whole place is decorated with Christmas lights. They were even selling gingerbread cookies and hot apple cider (which were so delicious)!







I realize as I get older, the magic of Christmas sort of wears off every year. I'm not even feeling very festive today. On the contrary, I feel as if I hate the whole holiday thing, especially because of my family's plans this year. But I'm not going to dwell on that much longer because it's supposed to be a nice and happy day. I'm sure I'll have plenty of pictures of the delicious food I'll be having though! My dad e-mailed me a menu of our dinner, haha, even though we live in the same house.

Appetizers:
Melon with prosciutto
Kani Salad
Stuff Mushroom
Baked Wings

Entrees:
Cherry Glazed Baked Ham
Garlic Herb Salmon
Julia Child's Roast Chicken

Sides:
Stuffing
Mac and cheese
Buttery corn.
Chinese vegetables.
Garlic mashed potatoes.
Rice

Dessert:
Cheesecake
Banana creme pie

Now, after rereading that list, I'm definitely excited for dinner! What are your plans for the day? Is it something low-key or is it a really big celebration?

  6. Oh the market looks fab, I always feel really festive walking around the markets at Christmas time. I feel the same about Christmas too but then as soon as everything comes together and the family are around, I feel incredibly festive and happy!

    Love the look of the food, hope you enjoyed the meal your dad made!
