I missed doing latke's this year. Doesn't feel the same without my daughter at my side doing the frying. I didn't have the energy or desire to mix them into a simple Christmas dinner and with how much oil they bring, it's probably healthier for me to just skip them this year. Now I'm off to look at your layouts which I noticed in the CMG gallery last night. Bad me had plans to do Christmas and Hanukkah kits and got none done - doh!

We're going to do cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning for my husband. It's something he always wanted as a kid and I'm the mom now so I get to make everything magic 
Due to my brother being a pain in the butt, my mom has extra steak so we can always make steak for dinner on Christmas Day. I won't complain if my husband and son cook for me ;p
My family does Italian food (plus latkes, of course) for our big family Hanukkah party. It starts with the kids - and kids at heart - decorating an obscene amount of cookies. There's pasta, meatballs, eggplant, etc. One of my other aunts always makes some sort of chocolate covered pretzels or chocolate bark. It's always a ridiculous amount of food and I think I eat mostly latkes. |
