Christmas Eve-Eve

Christmas Eve-Eve is, to me, almost as fun and exciting as Christmas Eve. This year, like year’s past, we made Christmas Fettuccine a la The Holiday and gathered around the dining room table to eat it.

The kids stayed with their aunt and nana that night, so it was just us and my mom and younger sister and her fiancé. It was a nice, adults-only evening where we listened to Christmas music and drank wine and cooked. My favorite kind of night

Alex, my best friend from high school and his wife and one-year old daughter were in town, so he stopped by after dinner to say hi for a few hours, and it was so nice to catch up after not seeing him in a few years.

I can’t think of anything better than spending the evening with good food and the people you love.
