the Christmas Day dinner. 15 people. more of the doom and gloom that was Christmas 2011:

text reads:
the FOOD always turns out great. we had a small WIGILIA, just XXX and i and XXX. fried fish, mushrooms, pirohi, sauerkraut two ways, sauerkraut and dried mushroom soup, Gramma Sophie potatoes, veggies, salad, Slivovitz, wine. the food on Christmas Day has always been my attempt at recreating Grammy XXX Christmas Roast Beast, gravy, coleslaw, roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, my homemade bread, tons of veggies. this year i made TWO giant standing rib roasts. Joyce made her broccoli casserole, and Lorraine was assigned the buying of dessert, which turned out to be Giant Eagle cookies. glad that i had made some buckeyes, chocolate-covered pretzels and, for the first time, chocolate-covered Oreo Triple-Doubles. everyone seemed to enjoy the food. i, on the other hand, got instant diarrhea when i was breading the fish for Wigilia. ALLERGY-related?? who knows. but i ate some green beans and a bit of sauerkraut for that dinner and that was it. XXX and Sam and their antics spoiled Christmas dinner for me. i drank a lot instead.

Oh, Phylis, the design and masking on these two pages are glorious. And look at all that food! I would collapse under the preparation of it all! And on top of that, for you to feel sick, too! Wow! Not the ideal way to spend Christmas dinner. ((hugs))

BTW, I love the "after" picture, the photo of the full refrigerator.
 
What a gorgeous spread, you made all that and someone bought GE cookies lol? (hope they made it ok to the cookie counter). Beautiful pictures and layout, love Sophistica with the theme, but sorry it turned out so badly for you. . .
 
I was thinking the same as digigal...GE cookies? lol. Great perspective on the beautiful table set up. Sorry you didn't feel well, though.
 
This is beyond awesome.... Your words cracked me up.... I was so wore out from the Christmas drama.... I asked my cousin later how she got through it..... she has a drink too... next year I'll send you a silent private toast!... Cause I'll be drinking too.....!
 
the whole flow of your pages... the way the story unfolds... lack of color... I'm getting diarrhea from the suspense... just not what Christmas is supposed to be... family... oh my...
 
Ditto to what Vivre said! Such gorgeous pages! love your last sentence! I am sorry though that you did not get the magic that your Grandma dinners created for you
