For the first time in about a dozen years, (not including Covid), the Durrant's did not host a Christmas Eve party. That's not to say our day wasn't filled with food prep and house zchuzing because the event was simply downsized into a sit down meal affair. I was back at it chopping up the Persian 'micro salad' while Louis prepped puddings - we both somehow dodged putting up the outside Christmas lights which I'm very grateful for. In fact, overall it was a lot calmer Christmas Eve overall. There wasn't a cascade of hotplates being loaded into an oven as each and every dish was timed to the minute for when it needs to hit the table. Just low-key, chilling vibes which is exactly what the holidays are all about. A part of me misses the big parties, end of an era perhaps but only time will tell.
Hope everyone gets what they wished for from Santa tomorrow and that your Christmas day is filled with warmth and cheer. Indulge in tradition & bit too much food and drink, I'll be right there with the rest of you in the sofa watching Wallace & Gromit.
