Started the day with a treadmill session and workout with weights, as usual. Mother came over after that and began working the edges of a jigsaw puzzle. We'll take this puzzle with us tomorrow, when we go to another town to celebrate Christmas with Hubbie's side of the family. It has become a tradition for us to set up a puzzle as part of the entertainment for this gathering.
For years, Hubbie's family gathered at our house for a Christmas get-together, usually on December 26, but for the past few years, one of his daughters has preferred that we gather at hers and her husband's lake home on the weekend before Christmas.
We made a variety of dips and a cream cheese ball this morning as part of our contribution to the festivities. We'll take spinach dip, jalapeno dip, onion and chives dip, and an Italian cream cheese ball, plus snack crackers.
Later in the morning, Hubbie and I shopped for groceries at the WDCS. I really wanted to avoid the Christmas rush today, but we decided that a pot of chili (for Hubbie and me), and chicken noodle soup (for Mother) would be good to have for supper Monday night, when the temps are predicted to drop dramatically. But of course, we didn't have all the required ingredients.
After we got back from shopping, we put the pot of chili on to simmer, and boiled the chicken. This will save us some work on Monday, when we'll probably want to do some last-minute shopping and watch Christmas movies.
After lunch, Mother and I settled in to watch the 1954 movie, "White Christmas," while Hubbie groomed Shih Tzu for a bath later.
Supper was a choice of hamburgers or turkey burgers, served with baked potatoes and no-salt creamed corn. Mother went home afterwards, and Hubbie and I watched our favorite college basketball team win another game.
