Christmas Don’t Be Late

We can hardly wait for Christmas this year. It's not even Thanksgiving and we are preparing for Christmas. The tree is out, ginger bread man is gracing our dish drying mats and holly patterned kitchen towels are hanging right next to the pumpkin patch ones. 

Diya has been up since 5am making presents wish-list and spent the whole day cooking and shopping. Dinner includes mussels cooked in mushroom broth, pasta and Alfredo sauce, roasted peppers soup with artisan bread served with Norah Jones's new holiday album setting the mood in the background. 

Aadi - the one who does not eat fish - demanded and ate all of his squid ink fettuccine to the point of licking his bowl. The mussels were discarded … well because, don't we know, he does not eat fish!

I enjoyed a chilled glass of my favorite Chardonnay and played Ludo with Aadi while Diya and Suvo bustled about in the kitchen. 

And just like that, we are ready for the holidays. 

(Diya is passed out with exhaustion at the end of the day. She has totally earned a hand massage today - another favorite bedtime routine.)

What a delicious evening!
