It was a great Christmas Eve. It was the first time that Christmas Eve was held at my place. Of course, my mom helped me because she had to make the gravy. My mom also brought the risalamande. I was very worried about the Danish caramelized potatoes, but my trial-and-error efforts worked, and they tasted good. The only thing that went awry was that I had underestimated how long it would take me to peel 2 kg potatoes. It delayed the meal by an hour, but we talked and had a good time while the potatoes were in the oven. The duck was tasteful, and we enjoyed our meal. We were only three people, so it was a relaxed and quiet evening, which I hope we can do again next year.

My mom is coming tomorrow, and we’ll eat leftovers and exchange Christmas presents. She is the only one I buy Christmas presents for, and we don’t want to exchange Christmas presents in front of other people. I’m looking forward to tomorrow, and the leftovers suit me well. Other than that, I don’t have any plans before New Year’s Eve, so it’ll be some wonderful Christmas days with many good holiday movies, which is how I prefer.

I hope everybody has had a wonderful Christmas Eve and that the holidays are as you want them. Enjoy this nice time with family and/or friends.

Merry Christmas, everybody.
