On Christmas eve, I've invited my friend and her family for a simple dinner. Since. it's a western festive season, I can't be frying bee hoon or rice right ? Somehow, fried bee hoon or fried rice and Christmas do not click. So I made chicken steak with mash potatoes and some spaghetti, and not forgetting the greens - broccoli and carrot. I put a bit of every thing in a platter for each person. No alcohol, instead we had Sparkling apple and cranberry juice in wine glasses. We also had seedless grapes for fruit and my mum was very kind to make us some animal agar agar and also a beautiful log cake for our dessert. I laid the table with napkins and cutlery to look Christmasy. Every thing looks pretty. But shucks! I was too hungry that I forgot to take a picture of the dinner! Oh... so sad. The only item that I didn't forget to snap was my mum's log cake. My mum is really an excellent and talented cook! :)

After eating, the children played toys and interacted. Initially, they didn't know how to play with each other. It was only after sometime that they started to warm up and enjoy each other's company. However, we've to bid them goodbye soon after. Blame it on the little nonya! Haha :) We exchanged gifts, took some pictures under the tree and that's the end of our party.
