Fun Old-Fashioned Family Christmas, 2021

Christmas scenes from 2021, at Rebecca and Jeremy's in Menlo Park. Rachel and Will were back in Missoula, visiting the Sehestedts. 

Christmas eve lunch: the cheese fondue course

Egg nog tasting (Nellie's was the consensus
favorite); note Wally World tasting cup

Christmas eve fondue dinner...shrimp, scallops, chicken, steak;
and the array of sauces at the end of the table

Happily, our Christmas pyramid (from Kathe
Wohlfahrt, Rothernburg ob der Tauber, 1979)
worked yet again; taller candles help


Among our traditions is opening a present on
Xmas eve 

Action shots of me opening a sweatshirt from Rebecca and
Rachel: "It's a beaut, Clark!", a favorite line from Christmas
Vacation 

Christmas morning: a sashibo from Aunt Carole

Relishing the thought of dyeing Grandma's hair...
green? red? blue? chartreuse?

Penelope's super-sized stocking

Undoubtedly more Potter-head paraphrenalia

Crafts and make-up, her other passions; presently

Book-binding kit; now she has to write the book

Christmas brunch

Ditto





































































































































































































Setting for Christmas dinner: the cheese and 
charcuterie course; after all these meals, we had
to wait a couple days for the chocolate fondue
finale; see previous post
