Victoria Bryant: December 2011 Archives
Mes amis, the night before Christmas is so busy. It is time to put the children to bed so Santa Claus can put the finishing touches on the presents. Santa always must assemble a bicycle, a train set, a doll house or a Barbie set. La Barbie, she gets around. Perhaps you will be hosting a Christmas party. This is not the time to be spending a lot of time in the kitchen. But, of course, you will want your friends and family to think that you have labored for hours to prepare this delicious meal.
