So the holidays are over for another year. I’ll admit to being a bit nutty about the holidays. I love the traditions. I love the decorations. I love the corny songs. I love the food … especially this year.
We were lucky enough to host two holiday meals this year, Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. We had it all: turkey, sausage-apple stuffing, pies, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce (I found a new recipe this year. Yum!), pepper pot pork chops, pineapple casserole, scalloped potatoes, Christmas cookies, etc. I even made traditional sugar plums. They were great, but the kids didn’t like them. Too savory for them, I guess.
With all of that cooking, I didn’t have much time to shoot the results. I did, however, take the time to do a couple of holiday themed shoots. The image above is my favorite from those two shoots. It’s my take on a more sophisticated treat for Santa, including a hot chocolate chocotini complete with chocolate mint candy cane.
I don’t know if he liked it, because I ate and drank the treats after striking the set. Sorry Santa. There’s always next year.
Welcome to 2010!
