Doesn't everyone do a trial run of their holiday meal table setting?

We're having chili with cornbread for the main meal. I'm making a salted caramel chocolate chip cheesecake for dessert.

Never think you can't mix Noritake with Better Homes and Gardens.

Witnessed #brianodonovan & his amazing #ChristmasCelticSojourn (I’d not realized it was the 20th year of it)

And then saw https://www.irishcentral.com/news/brian-o-donovan-cancer
(Which I didn’t know about)

This performance is still a glorious way to end the day. I’ve been annually catching this performance for a few years.

Live for now. #HappyHolidaysToAll
