We're plain people and don't entertain, so we will have roast turkey, stuffing, gravy and a veggie, (Sometimes, yeast rolls), then pumpkin pie, with whipped cream (I eat my pumpkin pie plain) and plum pudding with hard sauce, which we will eat for days, as there are just the two of us (57 years, kids grown and gone. Covid is not HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL, HERE. May y'all have many, many more of them.

Jumbo shrimp cocktail, Wagyu Prime Rib (with twice-baked potatoes and steamed asparagus) and Creme Brulee. Love this card!

[krose]

Stuffed artichokes and shrimp cocktail 🍤 as appetizers followed by lasagna and meatballs with garlic bread, Yule log with ice cream for dessert. 😋🎄

[deborahmoseley]

I could watch you paint all day! Thanks for sharing! Homemade pizza is our tradition with creative toppings and lots of laughter.

Those watercolors are mesmerizing as they bloom and spread.

Every year I grill a whole tenderloin for Christmas Eve. I also make twice baked potatoes and a salad. I put out a charcuterie board to snack on while waiting for the food to cook. We have cookies and gelato for dessert. On Christmas Day we cut up the rest of the tenderloin and serve it on garlic crusty bread. Everyone brings a dish and we enjoy visiting with family and friends. BTW, this card is absolutely stunning!

[mossivy]

Love this card so much! But the music is just as awesome - I heard a bassoon during “Auld Lang Syne” and it reminded me so much of my band years during high school - that was a very, very long time ago. It is amazing what you hear in music when you really listen! My favorite holiday dinner is on Christmas Eve when we have Mexican food - enchiladas, tamales, guacamole, refried beans, the whole 9 yards - with sopapillas and honey for dessert! YUM!

[teresasanner-fecto]

The card is just beautiful. I love to watch you paint. I am a mother of 6 and a daycare provider to 6 more. My gift to myself is not having a dinner party... and I love to eat anything I don't have to fix!

[louisehigh]

Great detail on the card! Prime Rib, au gratin rosemary & cheese potatoes, green beans with bacon & slivered almonds, cranberry & pineapple jello salad and chocolate almond flourless cake.

[cindyryan]

Absolutely gorgeous card!! Christmas dinner is baked Brie in puff pastry, beef tenderloin, loaded twice baked potatoes, roasted asparagus & crème brûlée for dessert.

[nancyenjay]

These are my favorites in the series, just love to watch you watercolor. 3 courses...all desserts!

[maggiedonaldson]

Gorgeous card! I live in a fishing port, so fish is always on our favourites list. A Christmas Eve favourite meal is warm cheese straws with Champagne cocktail; a proper creamy fish pie with smoked haddock, cod, salmon, and prawns (shrimp) with mashed potato topping, served with spinach, carrots and peas; then apple Tarte Tatin with our Devon clotted cream.

[kristinelindgren]

Another gorgeous card, Kristina!! My perfect holiday meal would have to include all of the amazing dishes my mother made every Christmas Eve. We had a house full of family and made wonderful, lasting memories. Appetizers would include stuffed mushrooms, shrimp with cocktail sauce and dill dip with veggies. Dinner would include Korv (a Swedish sausage), Swedish Meatballs and my father’s secret recipe baked beans. Dessert would include trays of handmade Christmas cookies and Snow Pudding with custard (another Swedish tradition). I was so blessed to grow up all my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins nearby. We spent every Christmas Eve together for so many years. My grandfather always used to say, with a tear in his eye, that all he ever wanted was to see his family together. Enjoy your holiday, Kristina!!

[kathleen]

The card is beautiful! My dinner would be tossed salad, fresh baked Maine lobster, stuffed with fresh sea scallops, shrimp and lobster and ice cream sundaes for dessert.

[lisarutherford]

So lovely, Kristina!!
Christmas meal... doesn't all go together but the memories are what make it special... as a child, Christmas Eve we'd stay up late snacking on nuts, cheeses & Merkt's cheese spread, crackers, summer sausage type platter (long before charcuterie boards were so popular but that's what it looked like) and then we'd go to midnight mass. Christmas dinner evolved into ham, Mom's delicious mashed potatoes, squash, green beans (I'm not a fan of green bean casserole but the rest of them love it so... it remains tradition). Sometimes there were other things depending on who was with us. Dessert... I'm not a fan of any of the traditional ones so if we were at Grandma's, she made banana cream just so I could have dessert too. Gramps would always have some of "Lisa's pie", telling me it was his favorite too (we all knew ALL pies were his favorite, but I got to feel a little special). If we were at home, we made cherry cream cheese pie... sometimes with different topping (rasp or even apricot).

Ohhhh the memories. Thanks for the beautiful trip down memory lane!

Beautiful card! Baked Brie, prime rib roast with Yorkshire Pudding, and coconut layer cake! Yum!!!

[colleenmckeeman]

Lovely card. Prime rib roast with twice backed potatoes and veggie of your liking. Would skip the appetizer since wouldn’t want guests to spoil their appetite. Would replace it with a dessert of cream DeMent pie. Merry Christmas.

[Consignmentsonthecorner]

Crab dip made from fresh out of the Maine ocean crap, prime rib and homemade apple pie. Topped off with home made egg nog. Yum. And a Tums before bed!

[kathycamasso]

I love anything you do with those paints and this is no exception! So beautiful. My dream holiday dinner might start with a beautiful charcuterie board with yummy cheeses, meats, olives, etc. then a nice tenderloin roast with all the fixings, then a special dessert like tiramisu or cheesecake! Tell us yours in the next video please!!!!

[CraftingandRelaxing]

Gorgeous! Watching you paint is very relaxing. 💙💙💙
