Sorry for the absence. My family has been passing around a stomach bug. 'Tis the season of giving, I guess. I have two Christmas parties this weekend. The first is today with my immediate family. We Hornung's have a tradition of playing Bingo on Christmas. I have an assortment of vintage Bingo cards for the occasion. The plan was to use Christmas M&Ms for markers, but I forgot them and have no intention of braving the stores on Christmas Eve. Maybe I will have Cicely help me punch some circles out of holiday scrapbook paper. We have done the prizes different ways; sometimes the host provides them, sometimes my mom has. This year each person is responsible for bringing a $5.00, $2.00, and $1.00 gift. Every few moments my kids announce how long is remaining until this party. We can't wait. My sister's house is the setting for tonight's celebration.
The second party of the weekend is at our house tomorrow hosting Ron's immediate family. I am starting to get the table set and the house in order. Both are dinner parties. Soup and sandwiches are the fare tonight, and tomorrow we will have a more traditional ham dinner.
