Early Christmas!

Today is the day that our family is going to be celebrating Christmas.  Sister has to work at Starbucks tomorrow so we’re going to take the time and open gifts and such today.  This evening is the Christmas Eve candle light service at my parents church and it’s become our family tradition to return home after the service and have a fondue with a few friends.  I actually started the fondue tradition at our house a few years ago because our family really doesn’t have many traditions and it was time to start some.  It’s kind of morphed into one of our favourite holiday events now as a result of the fact that dipping appetizers into hot cheese pretty much sums up the evening.  Another thing that I do for this evening is ensure that there is a bottle of Quail’s Gate Gewürztraminer around.  I have been saving the last two bottles from my case of wine just for this occasion all year now and I’m really looking forward to drinking them (although I don’t really want to share… is that bad?).  If I don’t update after tonight it’s because my arteries have completely clogged and I’ve had a heart attack and died.  But know this!  I died happy!
