Christmas Eve Wishes from JHig

Seems to be a thing with him. I gave him fair warning that this blog was going up today when I teased him about always falling asleep early on the couch on Christmas Eve. He blamed it on all the food and wine. I suppose he's right, although I'm still awake...

Christmas Eve 2007

Christmas Eve 2008Somewhere on this computer are photographs of Joseph on Christmas Eve 2006 in an even better couch-sleeping pose. I need to find it.

All the food and wine responsible for Joseph's half consious state:

New wine opener Joseph broke out today, it has a needle instead of a corkscrew and it uses air pressure instead of force to remove the cork.
Merryvale 2001 Sauvignon Blanc
Cheese Board
More of those fat-dream cloverleaf rolls
Romaine salad with almonds, grapes, tomatoes, green onion, bleu cheese, mushrooms & artichoke with honey dijon cream dressing
Simi 2006 Sauvignon Blanc
Scalloped russet and sweet potatoes
Parmesan Crusted Corn Souffle
I have been accused dozens of times of serving way too big portions. This is why, this is a normal Joseph-sized plate.
