INDIANA---My images for the 12 Days of Christmas are courtesy of Foodie, Carol Bowen Ball at BariatricCookery, but my stories are about Greg Disney-Britton. Greg is funny. On the first day of Christmas, his true love planned to give to him a single gift (but in response to a whine or three whines), he received his normal three: (1) Mind: Words with Friends, the board game version; (2) Body: A Gentspa massage retreat at the Hilton Hotel; and (3) Soul: Greek Orthodox Ornament.

Christmas morning began with a home-cooked breakfast by mom @Verneida. It was delicious and then gifts. For brunch, we headed to my step-sister karen's where we learned she will be soon (6 months) become a grandmother. Karen also made an amazing egg casserole that I must try to duplicate. At 3pm, we were at my sister Renee's with Kavon (and Kavon #2 & #3). My niece, the recently graduate of mixology school made us pepermint martinis! Then at 5pm we headed to Uncle Mike's for our formal Christmas dinner with: Mike & Kevin, Aunt Kaye & Shadiq, Mom Verneida, Kai & Tocarra, Tristan and his sister. There were 11 of us. The food, as always was over the top perfect: Fried Turkey (OMG), ham, green beans, macarooni & cheese, potatos, dressing, Aunt Bernie's jello, Strawberry cheesecake, and Kevin's fruitcake. This year, we swapped power2give cards for Heifer certificates (we all have our causes)., and then headed back to Indianapolis. It could not have been a better Christmas...beginning.
