Eventually, of course, one must eat.  It has become our tradition to make a small buffet on Christmas Eve:

The menu was shrimps with hot cocktail sauce (and it did turn out QUITE hot this year); sauteed chicken filets; deviled eggs; sliced cantaloupe; cheese and crackers; chips and dip.

Some members of the family were thinking, Cool it with the photos and let us eat!

All in all, a lovely evening.  Kitty wasn't forgotten, but she gets her own blog later...
