Due to the global pandemic, we celebrated at home this year with our immediate Burlington family, Grandma, Aunt Sandy, Jamie, AJ, Zoe, Barbro and Dave. On Christmas eve we had a Polish Christmas meal with the Klima clan, and on Christmas Day we had a Swedish meal with the Thelemarck Clan.
Aunt Sandy, Jamie, Grandma, Zoe and the boys made the pierogi and ushki. Sandy made the mushroom soup this year, which was delicious. I made a deep dark chocolate flourless cake that we ate with peppermint ice cream. Our second ethnic meal was roasted ham, Swedish meatballs, red cabbage, and potatoes. We missed Jansan's Temptation this year and the rest of the Thelemarcks.
Our house was beautiful, and so was our table. Anna and I had so much fun decorating and making the house sing. It really was special even though it was such a tiny holiday celebration. I love that we both love the holiday so much. I think our favorite moments and parts of the holiday were the games that we played.
Spinning tops and Battling Tops, Pokemon, and all of the other assorted games the boys got for Christmas from relatives. We were homebodies throughout the weeks off. We had 2 full weeks away from school due to the Pandemic, which honestly was such a gift this year.
