Christmas Eve “Dinner”

I have a cold now, so I won’t be going to Christmas dinner at my mother’s house except to get leftovers later. She bought us presents this year too, and I’m offering her a computer she can learn on without worrying about breaking it. She’s trying to learn how to use computers, but is afraid of breaking her husband’s computer. Since I found the best way to learn was to have my own, I want to give her one of mine to do the same.

Anyway, we didn’t really have a dinner at my father’s house last night, but there were lots of appetizers. I even got to munch on some of these:

Don’t worry, they weren’t alive. They were all dry and crispy. They’re a snack from Thailand, bamboo worms.
