Sugar coated candied nuts, oozing with cinnamon and sweetness that I only make for the holiday season, adds some nice flavor and texture to stuffing when crushed. Another great food tip is add cut up oranges to the inside of a turkey. It adds flavor and moisture to the bird.

Christmas is a great excuse to focus on finger foods and exotic drinks. We had puff pastries, shrimp, crab, cheese and artichokes and everything in between. What a fabulous feast of tidbits.

The drive was long, but the reception was wonderful. Being surrounded by family is always a treat. We spent the day decorating, stringing lights and exchanging stories.
