Christmas 2025 Was Full of Goodness and Light 

Hello Christmas Luminaries,

How was your Christmas? Was it merry and bright. Was it all that you hoped it would be? 

I hope your Christmas was beyond blessed. Mine was blessed, bright and beautiful. With so much to be grateful for, my family and I broke bread and enjoyed a my usual Christmas Eve dinner. On Christmas Day I relaxed with a thankful heart for my family, friends and my home. We had more than enough food for Christmas Day dinner. 

Is it okay to say that the food was great and the company was lovely. We ate dinner around 6 p.m. 

The only thing that was missing from dinner was a pound cake. My husband promised to do the baking, but he never got around to it! You can best believe I won’t depend on him to bake the pound cake this year for Christmas because I need to have pound cake for dessert. I love ice cream and cake. Although I don’t eat it often it would have topped off the meal.

What did you bake for Christmas Eve dinner? Did you have dessert to go with coffee or tea? 

I certainly hope that you had a lovely Christmas. 

As I prepare to countdown to Christmas 2026, I know exactly what I am going to have for dinner this year. I’m going to try something totally new and different for my Christmas Eve dinner. You may have heard of it. It’s called the feast of the seven fishes.

Here’s a terrific article that tells you all about it. It’s a great read and I can’t wait until Christmas Eve to cook this amazing special meal.
