‘Tis the Season

Holiday cheer is in the air. The Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year’s block is a wonderful time of the year (some would say – or sing – the most wonderful), providing us with enough distractions from the bitter cold that accompanies it. We got a jump on Christmas decorations this year, with Olivia showing her little brother how we festoon our fake fir. (She also has her own smaller version, her Mini-Tree, if you will, that she weighed down with abounding adornments.)

We kicked off the holiday season with a feast with fine friends, complete with turkey three ways: bird (prepared by Julie), ersatz bird (Tofurkey from Trader Joe’s – thanks to Liz for picking one up), and ersatz Tofurkey (seasoned and stuffed tofu loaf assembled by Beni Crocker). And as you can see, even the baby is susceptible to the tryptophan-induced food coma.
