Christmas Day was at our house this year and it was a truly wonderful and memorable day. Santa came for Jeej and boy did our little love make out quite well!!! She was a very very good girl!!! Of course!!! Sal and I had so much food. Sal smoked 3 pork shoulders and we made around 20lbs of eggplant parm. My brother made an excellent anitpasta and Mom and Jinny made sides and dessert and Beth brought her yummy cookies.. We had about 13 people and the guest of honor was of course Gerard, our new beloved freind. Gerard had the best time eating all these new kinds of food haha and sharing his awesome stories of World War II with everyone especially Sal and Dad. Sal dressed up as an elf and spray painted his hair green... operation mean green as he called it.. Every year he plans on doing this for Gigi and John so they think he works for Santa... honey we all love you so much!! It was truly a very special Christmas. Pictures to follow...
I wanted to share what our good friend Beth wrote about spending Christmas with us...
Merry Christmas 2012! Very special thanks to my dear friend
Patricia Giordano-Mastropolo for inviting me to spend Christmas with her family. I had a lovely time and lots of wonderful food. Patti and her husband had become acquainted with a
Wal-Mart greeter named Gerard, who served at D-Day, The Battle of Normandy. He was widowed a few years ago, and would have spent Christmas alone in his trailer - until Patti and her husband brought him to their house to spend the holiday with their brood - the ultimate demonstration of true Christmas spirit!!! Thanks Patti and family - you are the best, and I am honored to be your friend!!! xoxo
