On Christmas Eve, Kidzilla, her boyfriend, her mother, and her
step-father usually come over for a meat and cheese tray, rolls to
serve them on, baked beans, and whatever else we happen to think of.
(This is Crash's thing)

We're generally too tired on Christmas morning to do anything other
than sleep in. On Christmas Day, we usually eat leftovers from the
night before.

This year, we should be entertaining my niece and her roommate again.
They had never heard of fondue! We have a sterno unit and an electric
one. Also a tiny crockery one for chocolate. We have a quite small
crockpot that could be used for dessert, too. I have the most amazing
raspberry fondue recipe.
