Christmas day in particular. But even then I try to fill up on salads and clean food before I begin on the pudding. We are expecting monsoons to finally arrive in our region on Christmas Eve which means rain at last!

This year we're expecting a slightly snowy Christmas, but most years it's been fairly warm and sunny. More Christmases than I can remember I spent in a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals.<br /><br />Also, my dad makes a dessert like that, but without the frosting. It just has a sweet cream cheese filling. I'll have to point him toward this recipe and see how he feels about adding a little extra sugar on top (we all have a big sweet tooth).A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-14738022730820432682015-12-21T10:18:24.809-05:002015-12-21T10:18:24.809-05:00I agree Susan.
