Daily Notes for Christmas Eve- Tuesday, December 24th. Cold here in Maine with 4 inches on snow on the ground.

 Pierogi making...Son has everything on the stove.  Production will commence.  These are last year's.

Technically Pierogi is Polish but my Hungarian/Austrian/Slavic family (with a touch of Russian on my mother's side), made them every year on Christmas Eve...... so I continued to make them but the fillings changed as my husband's family made mostly the cheese ones from a dry cheese and the children did not like dry cheese so I used cream cheese and that has been the way it has stayed.  My parents and brothers liked the potato and sauerkraut ones.  I have gone on line  (Internet) and there are also fruit and meat stuffed pierogi.  Actually you can stuff them with what ever you like.

The house already smells like fried onions and butter.

It snowed all night- very lightly and Son and I are hoping we reached the depth where the plow guy comes to clear the driveway.  Five Inches.  The Town has plowed the street.

I need to plug in my table top tree....get some Christmas tunes going.

I have been watching SO MUCH FOOTBALL.  Monday Night Football was quite a DRAG.  How can they always have a boring game- every Monday Night??????? Well, at least the Monday nights I watch.

I've had my oatmeal and read the newspaper...and pretty soon we will be rolling dough and pinching edges and making Rogies.   Ah, the delights of Christmas......and No Gifts.....we decided we don't need anything.

But each other.  Merry Christmas.
