Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas everyone!

Winter weather in the Midwest scuttled my plans to visit my sister in Iowa. I was worried about possibly being stranded at O'Hare Airport Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so canceled my flight and stayed in North Carolina. Friends from church invited me over Christmas Day for beef fondue, late afternoon. We had a Kendall-Jackson Sauvignon Blanc (pretty good) as an aperitif and the Chateau de Basty Regnie (Beajolais Cru) that I brought with the beef fondue. I also left them a Spanish dessert wine (blend of Moscato and Gewurztraminer) to open when their adult children arrive after Christmas. I attended a Christmas Eve service that started at 10:30 PM and let out after midnight. I now have to mail packages to my nephew's family since I had planned to deliver the gifts in person in Iowa.
