2023 SYW: Special Share your World — Christmas Edition

1. What will you be eating today?

What did I eat for Christmas dinner? I’m going to answer this in two parts. Part One, entails what we ate for Supper on Christmas Eve; that included Baked Chicken with Knorr Chicken flavored Rice with Pillsbury Biscuits. We have all been sick with a bacterial respiratory infection so, needless to say, I did not feel up to cooking a major dinner. My daughter did have her daughter with her for a few hours, but she could not stay long enough to eat with us.

Next is Part Two, I was feeling a little better but still under the weather. I managed to fix our supper mid-day (and yes, I do 99% of the overall cooking fir the household.) I fixed homemade ground turkey enchiladas with black olives and diced chili peppers. My grandson (at this time) will not eat anything that has a slight kick to it (even making it super mild is too much for him). Therefore, I cooked him some veggie chicken dinosaurs.

2. What was your favourite gift?

I do not have a favorite gift from this year. For several years now, I have only received a Christmas gift if I bought something and gave it to myself. My most favorite gift I have ever given myself is my Canon EOS Rebel T3I camera.

3. What is the worst bit, if any, about celebrating (Christmas or otherwise)?

The worst bit of any celebration is having family that chooses not to celebrate with you. It is also feeling alone whether or not you are physically alone. I have not been surrounded by much of my family for any special occasion (except my daughter) in an extremely long time. It is also a time when I reflect on past times with my dad and wish he could have lived longer.

4. Do your pets get to join in with the fun?

Growing up my mom always got our dog a Christmas gift and placed it under the tree. As an adult most of the places I have lived have not allowed pets, so it was no issue as to whether or not to buy a gift for a pet.
