Colombian empanadas, cold seafood salad, baked clams, marinated mushrooms, stuffed cabinelli peppers, delmonico, and wagu beef steaks, prime rib roast, assorted sides, bottles of red and white wine...
Some people think there is more to life than eating and drinking. Life, REAL LIFE, is more than just what is happening in the moment and certainly more than just the superficial pleasures that have little meaning in the overall scheme of things. Hedonism is rarely accompanied by empathy for others (like the thousands and millions who have NO food and not even clean water to drink). I'm not religious but I do believe in the SPIRIT of Christmas and that it should be more about others than ourselves and more about giving than receiving. JMO, though. Certain members of my family, either through death or illness, are not around to celebrate Christmas with us this year; I am so thankful for the pictures and videos that I have of them to remind me of the wonderful times we spent together and to keep their memories alive and fresh in my aging mind.
