More Christmas Memories

Yes, Christmas was just yesterday, but here are some memories of our Christmas Day.

First, we had fusion meals for our Christmas breakfast and lunch. We started with a Southern breakfast that we had on Christmas morning at Betty’s stepmother Nita’s home when all the family could gather – Cheese Grits with Sausage and Biscuits and Apple Butter.

For lunch we had a traditional New Mexican Christmas Day meal – tamales with red sauce, black beans, deep fried green Chile strips, and a Harry and David pear to offset the heat from the tamales and strips.

On Christmas Eve we went to our church’s candle light service. If you didn’t have a chance to go to such a service, you’re invited to watch our service.

On our way home after the service, we drove through Corrales to see the Christmas lights. Being a farming community, each year several of the working tractors are decorated with lots of lights.

In that same lot with the tractors, we saw that Santa also arrives via a crane.

It was a beautiful and blessed Christmas for us.
