In Lieu of Gingerbread

Usually, I give small presents and/or gingerbread to friends for Christmas. This year, I ran out of time to complete enough gingerbread, and I am not a good shopper - and already have enough presents to buy to keep me busy at the mall...so I decided to have a martini party for friends and we could enjoy our time together.

My presents were the food and the martinis.

Turn out was pretty good considering it was so close to Christmas - and there were a couple of surprise appearances.

As usual, there was too much food.

And there was a lot of booze left over.

I predict I will be drinking martinis until May long weekend.
