Well this traditional Lithuanian Christmas Eve went over very well....I think my grandma would be proud!!
I was up at a whopping 5:30 only because Gilligan was pacing and needed to go out....so once I was up I figured I'd stay up....I started cooking at like 8 and only finished when the guests started showing up....I forgot how many dishes there were to make the 12 that tradition calls for...LMAO!!
I also made my sis a huge cake for her official college graduation....at 45+!! Congrats Lina....she made the Dean's list!!
We sat and ate and had a serene time....I can't remember the last time we did that!
I hope that you ALL feel the Christmas Magic...it is there....trust me...just tune in!!!
Buona Vigilia.....I am gushing unconditional love and peace to you all!!
You all inspire me...HONEST YOU DO!!!!
I thanked the powers that be for bringing me to you tonight at the Christmas Eve table...as a good pagan would...*giggles*
¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!

Well...I think I am done...
I do believe that I am ready for Christmas...lol!! All of my best laid plans were dashed by the weather...you know how the saying goes...while we are busy planning God is laughing...well in my case it was the weather man!!
I am doing a traditional Lithuanian spread for Christmas Eve and have my family coming over to feast and make nice...I just hope we get the last part right!!
If any of you are interested what it is we "Lugans" do for this holiest of nights follow this link: http://www.javlb.org/educat/tradicijos/kucios.html
Mind you...we Lithuanians have been around since the beginning of time...and were pagans....so there are many let's call them non-holy reasons why we do what we do...lol!!
After our family pow wow ...I am having Christmas morning with my girls, then hitting the road to head to mom's in Queens...need a NYC fix so I can appreciate my country life a bit more. *giggles*
If I don't get a chance to post before landing downstate...I wish you and all of yours Christmas Magic....it is out there...just tune in!!
