Tree Trimming Party

Last night, we hosted a tree trimming party for Molly and George's first Christmas tree. We had about 20 people, representing at least 7 nationalities...even a couple of Britons! We got to sample Christmas foods from all over the world. We had some rocking' homemade eggnog (American), delicious Panettone (Italian), sausage (Serbian), and even tried our hand at mulled wine. Everyone helped decorate the tree with whatever materials they wanted including these cute gingerbread men! For the time being, Buddy seems to be tolerating their existence. My friend Regina and I even discovered an excellent vegan gingerbread cookie recipe. Thanks to everyone who came and helped get the house ready for Christmas!
