For a wonderful gathering of 10 friends last night, before various members of the crew split off into their various holiday directions, it was the Christmas Eve Eve Eve feast at the Roediger House. The food turned out pretty well, lots of fun was had 'round the Wii upstairs before dinner, and we capped it off with some delicious carrot cake for dessert. Not sure where we found room to put that last bit of goodness, but we all trudged through to the end.
