Christmas Eve Day EmDes Celebration Brunch!


Posted for Debbie Armer

A new tradition is about to unfold! Thursday, December 24th the EmDes Christmas Eve Day brunch begins at 10:30 A.M. at our home. We will conclude our observance of Advent by lighting the final Advent candle with the children. EmDes folk will also spend time eating, laughing, celebrating, and worshipping. Josh has offered to bring his guitar.

For those families with children, please bring along their favorite toys or games. (We have coloring books and markers on hand.) If you have family and friends in town for the holidays, please extend to them an invitation to join us in this new tradition of a Christmas Eve Day EmDes celebration brunch! Be prepared for indoor and outdoor seating and dress accordingly.

This is a brunch potluck so bring your favorite brunch food and drink. (Please come even if you are unable to bring anything, all are welcome!) We (Sheri and I) will supply an egg & hash brown casserole, a baked French toast dish, and Wassail. Additional food suggestions are fresh fruit, juices, muffins, Christmas cookies, sliced meats and cheeses, fresh veggies etc. Fruit cake not allowed!

If you have something you know you will bring, please post so we don’t have twelve varieties of Christmas cookies and nothing else. The kids don’t need to be sugared up quite that early in the morning!

Come!

Hey... I like fruitcake.

Fruit is good. Cake is good. A winning combination!

Bring guitar not fruitcake.

Fruitcake - BLECH!

I offer an alternative equation from Joshua:

Fruit = good. Cake = good. Fruitcake = nasty crap.

Annnyway, we will be there with bells on! Thank you Debbie and Sherri for hosting us all! I am not quite sure yet what we're going to bring - I'll have to check the ole' recipe box to see what kind of brunchy things I have - but will post it here soon!

I'll bring mimosas and cookies since no one has gone the cookie route yet. If someone else does good cookies, feel free, and I shall change my food item.

Sarah said...

Tasia! How can you NOT bring that delectable egg/cheese/cheese/more cheese concoction you made in Flagstaff?! I was hoping for Part 2!

I'm drooling right now and am sad that we'll be missing this!

The macs are in. Sounds like a great time. We'll bring, uh, somethin'.

We could use Josh's fruitcake to prop the door open...
