I mentioned to my eldest daughter that we might have Chinese and she is pretty excited about it - wouldn't want to disappoint, although my husband, I am sure, would prefer the traditional roast with all the trimmings.Managing Mayhemhttp://managingthemayhem.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604996691488566449.post-76295096979868977972011-11-24T11:45:30.627+00:002011-11-24T11:45:30.627+00:00That's a great idea Sarah, I hadn't really...That's a great idea Sarah, I hadn't really thought of dressing the table so to speak as this is the first time I will have done Christmas at home.

My husband would appreciate my efforts too and I am starting to feel I may be a bit of a stick-in-mud for not wanting to do it.Managing Mayhemhttp://managingthemayhem.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604996691488566449.post-71445448864448482092011-11-22T14:30:39.384+00:002011-11-22T14:30:39.384+00:00Oh I like my roast turkey dinner!

Only time I cook a while turkey so it's kind of a change to what i Eat the rest of the year. but at the end of the day, it's your day, your family, your kitchen hell its your womanly right to cook whatever you darn well want to!! <br />Ps.

I think it is unfair that I slave all day and would rather take a year off now and then to have something like steak. Maybe go out to eat? Something other than me slaving all day. I rather would spend the day enjoying the holiday with my family instead of in the kitchen slaving. I did use the word Slave a lot lol sometimes I like Missyhttp://www.simplyraising8.comnoreply@blogger.com
