Last year, on Christmas Eve, we invited our neighbors over to our house for some holiday fun.
We decided to do it again this year.
My late brother's wife, my SIL, is coming and so is my aunt (she is also my Godmother).
Also coming is my youngest sister and her husband - they bought a place last year in the park next door to us.
They bought a real "fixer-upper" after Ian and have been coming down here occasionally to work on it.
They won't be retiring for 4-5yrs or so but thought this would be an excellent investment.
Anyway, Donna and I have been planning our eats and beverages.
So far -
Food -
Pizza rolls
Chex mix (homemade)
Cheese, meat, and cracker tray
Everything bagel chips and a homemade dip
My sister - shrimp and cocktail sauce
Bowls of assorted nuts and candies
Xmas cookies - Donna has been baking for about a week so far.
Little smokies in bbq sauce - my favorite!!
We know the people will all be bringing something, so there should be plenty.
Drinks -
Iced tea
Various sodas and mixers, both reg and sugar free
Bottled water
Reg beer
Lite beer
Craft beer
Premade 187ml margarita bottles of various flavors
Tequila and limes - of course!
Jameson
Vodka
