Christmas Leftovers

Cleaning out the phone camera today and I found my quintessential Christmas Photo. A table set for four with only two diners, each with a computer screen ready for zooming with grandchildren while using our phones to log into the games the ten year old twins created. I have artfully hidden the power strip behind the centerpiece made for me by my eight year old grandson. 
I tried to fancy it up as much as possible. 
I thought it might be fun on Christmas eve if Mr. Merry and myself played a taste testing game with these Christmas flavored seltzers. The first flavor was Gingerbread which my husband felt tasted like the inside of a garage. 

 Our next flavor was Cranberry.  Mr. Merry felt this one tasted like kerosene. We enjoyed sips of this beverage while watching "Who's the Boss" as part of our 1970/1980 Christmas Sitcom Marathon. 

I still have second cans of these flavors as well as two cans each of the Peppermint and Green Apple.  Personally I found these pretty flavorless but tolerable. We did not repeat this exercise for New Years Eve. We had an icy rain storm over night and I was sipping decaf tea to keep warm.

  2. Nice table and fun descriptions by your husband. We all had interesting holidays for Christms and New Years. I think zooming/facetime/wechat/messenger were used by pretty much every family this year.

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit! I love your comments and suggestions and read them all. Due to spam, I will now have to approve all comments. Sometimes it takes me a hot minute to authorize comments due to grandchildren commitments. I apologize but I can't let those scammers get the upper hand!
