Christmas 2020

Well, the pandemic pretty much shut everything down in 2020. We couldn't spend Christmas Eve with Auntie Deanna and her family, and we couldn't spend Christmas Day with Auntie Pat and her family. So, since we had to shelter-in-place at home, Mom worked really hard to come up with a menu for dinner on both evenings. Christmas Eve was ham, twice-baked potatoes, and broccoli. Christmas Day was prime rib with mashed potatoes and cream corn. There was also a ton of food from our pot-luck exchange with the Hamasaki's, Shinkawa's, and Tsukahara's. Man, there was so much food we couldn't even begin to sample it all. We ended up leaving a good portion of it for the day after Christmas. At least cooking for Mom on the 26th won't be as hard after 2 straight days of slaving away in the kitchen.
