Mom was texting me and said we had to make other plans because it was suppose to be cold Christmas and my stepdad was the only one with a heater in his vehicle.

I was on the verge of tears (I have been looking forward to hosting Christmas for my family a month now, I had done everything I could to make sure the apartment was finished by the time Christmas came round)... So I told her I would text her back later.

I came back after a shower and she said for me to call her when I was done, so I did and she told me that her, my stepdad, my sister and her two kids would still be coming. She was not sure if my brother was coming or not. I was happy again. This will be my first year hosting and this is Eric and my first Christmas living together.

Today I will do the desserts, Eric will do his brisket. He plans on waiting til tomorrow to do his cake. I will be making cookies, apple pie, and pecan pie... We will see how they turn out.

Happy Christmas Eve!
