[QUOTE="Katcracker, post: 2651261, member: 37542"] [b]Sorry started to ramble... :([/b] Halloween means peeled grapes and basic party food made to look sppoooooooky. Cupcakes with witches drawn on them, Cookies shapped like ghosts, candy laid out to be a spider, etc. Thanksgiving means Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Patato Pie, and Turkey. December means my Father-in-laws knock you out with the alcohol egg nog, spiced apple cider, eclairs and cobblers of every sort! New Years day means Bloody Mary's to knock the hangover :P I should mention that no matter the house we are in for these occations, nothing can be pre-made. It makes for a great time with everyone crowded into small kitchens scrambling to work together. We've had some horrible mishaps due to this, but it just makes for a good laugh later on. It's not my fault no one told me the skin of the pumpkin wouldn't be good to use as extra decoration to top the pie! The drinks get made in huge batches (lobster pots for hot drinks and gallon milk jugs for cold drinks) and when it gets low the shout is made and more is stirred up :) I hate being far from all the family, but it is these memories good and bad that make the push to get whereever they are that much more worth it, even if just for a day of the chaos.
