Christmas Eve

So excited for today!!! We’re cooking a big turkey today and having 8 people over in our small apartment. It’s going to be great!

We hosted Thanksgiving this year with our friends and loved it. That was our first turkey dinner in our new home, so this will be our first big Christmas where we host. I can’t wait! It’s going to be kind of a random group of family and friends coming over, the stragglers who are left from family moving away. I think it’s going to be fun.

My husband got a new game called Cropinole and it is SO MUCH FUN! It reminds me of pool, and I love pool. I played in league for two years but couldn’t play this year because of my shoulder. So I am excited to play Cropinole tonight with my family and friends. I think my dad will really like it.

Now my turkey dinner tonight is not very weight watchers friendly…I mean it’s not terrible except for the mashed potatoes and stuffing, I’m putting real butter in the mashed potatoes and real cream. I just feel when you’re cooking, you can’t make diet friendly food for everyone. I’d rather work off the pound I might gain from one high point dinner. I do have my weeklies left. Luckily turkey is zero points, the bulk of potatoes are zero points. It will be worth it.

Christmas dinner was a success!! Everything turned out beautiful! Well except for the Brussel sprouts…they had an interesting flavour….not a huge fan. But that’s okay!! Everything was piping hot and moist and delicious. So happy to have had my family and friends over. I realized that I absolutely love hosting. It means so much to me to have my friends and family in our home, eating my food made with love. I just feel overwhelmingly happy.

Tomorrow is Christmas, and on Christmas points don’t matter! I am going to indulge my heart out!

Merry Christmas everyone 🙂
