Christmas Eve Eve

Twas the night before Christmas Eve, and all through the house, last-minute shopping and kiln-firing was going on.....!  Tomorrow morning, the kiln will open and, hopefully, be full of wonderful new pots to replace all the pieces we've sold over the past month.  It will be fun doing this with the kids present......like opening one huge present all together.
I'll be baking a spiral-sliced ham, which has become an important holiday tradition around the Baldwin home.  Martha said she's baking pumpkin bread, and there will be baked sweet taters.  Collard greens and salad will round out the meal.  Really, a rather simple one this year.
Emma will be in our thoughts and hearts.  Emily will cheer us up with her antics! At some point, I imagine football will be watched.  I plan to toast the occasion with my Pennsylvania Dutch Brandied Apple Cider.
