Home Christmas Celebrations

Christmas Eve
Simple pasta and meatballs that everyone loves
and for dessert Peppermint Star Ice Cream



Peppermint Star Ice Cream:
Break up one- two candy canes (we happened to have organic which are actually so much more flavorful)
Soften a pint of Grater's Vanilla Ice Cream.
I placed the broken candy cane piece in a cake pan then gently pulled the ice cream out of the pint.
I sliced a circle placed it on the candy pieces, cut out with a star cutter and then added some of the softer ice cream to fill in all the way. After making four I quickly placed them in the freezer with some ice cream left over for another time.
They were a big hit.  Our chocolate lover got a little chocolate sauce on his.

Little Chamomile tea, cookies, and wine to finish up some gifts at the last hour.

The special gifts I made for the boys.


Santa brought the boys a town and candy canes


They would have been just as happy with only shovels.  They had to go out in their  pajamas
