I ordered the "complete" meal from out local Sprouts store. They use a "natural" turkey, so picked them over the big chain stores. At least we will have food in the house and lots of left overs (just the two of us this year). I am curious how this meal will be, but it will fill the bill.

The dinner is here. It looks okay. The turkey is actually very nice. I wanted a small turkey and this one is small and looks nicely cooked. It will warm and carve very nicely. It is the star of the show, so that is good. The sides are rather plain, but as expected. Mashed potato (big deal), stuffing (actually looks good), vegetable, bread, cranberry sauce, and gravy (should be interesting). I will bake some yams, plain butter and salt, no sweetener. I bought some pies and so we are set.

Tonight is snacks and ham sandwiches.

I am very tired, but happy to be here with the one I love for Christmas.

Thanks for all the good wishes, and may everyone have a very Merry Christmas.
