Eric has been on a roll this year as wanting to play host. For anything and everything. This year he decided we need to have a neighborhood Christmas drink night. Well, more so a 'neighbor' drink night as it was primarily our neighbors in the condo building next door that we invited. It was decided that the best night for this was the night before Christmas Eve. #1 - everyone had off the next day and #2 - no one was doing family stuff that night. So that was the plan.
We decided to keep it low key, as far as food and such. Just some snacky food, though I did delve into a new dessert (Lemon Blackberry Gingerbread Trifle - YUM). Eric insisted on a couple of 'house drinks' and we pulled some recipes from drinks we learned about in FL that may be new up here (Dark and Stormies and Washington Apples). No one had heard about Dark and Stormies, and they were a definite hit. The Washington Apples usually are in shot form (for good reason), but we did full glasses. Plus there was wine and anything else someone might desire.
All in all, it was a great night. Everyone who braved crossing the front yard had a great time and it was a nice way to celebrate with the neighbors you see almost everyday but don't get to really talk to that much.
So to my neighbors that read this, Merry Christmas and thanks for the fun night!
