Christmas for two

Jon and I had a wonderful Christmas. This was the first Christmas that Jon hasn't had to work so we took full advantage by sleeping late, eating terribly, and vegging out in front of the TV. My goal was to remain in some sort of pj type clothing all day and mission accomplished! For the record, I did shower but resumed wearing comfy clothes immediately thereafter. It was so relaxing being that it was just the two of us. We ate sausage balls for breakfast, opened presents and then began the adventure of making the special Christmas lunch...monte cristos. We didn't have enough oil for the fryer but Jon saved the day by finally finding a CVS with some in stock. The first batch was a disaster and totally stuck to the fryer basket. We made a few adjustments and were pros in no time. They were so yummy. What more can you expect from fried ham, turkey and swiss sandwiches?!? We watched a few movies and then it was time for steaks and twice-baked potatoes. I am starting to sound like my dad referencing events with memories of food. We finished off the day by watching Casablanca on TCM.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.
We catch a flight this evening to head to Little Rock for a week of much needed r&r.
