However, before New Year's Eve and a few days after the winter solstice, it was Christmas Eve and Christmas that she was quite looking forward to. She decorated the house with the same enthusiasm as she did for Halloween.

Huge decorative balls in red, green, gold and silver were strung along the ceiling, interspersed with small shiny string lights and fake plastic products made into mistletoe and holly patterns.

She also hid a few fixed nails in it to hang some decorations, such as red socks, square gift boxes, and red and green small packages stuffed with cotton.

These hanging decorations are not too dense, and their arrangement does not follow regular rules. They are more casual and lively.

The carpet in the sofa area of ​​the living room was replaced by a large Christmas-style short-pile round carpet, with a green edge and a pattern inside of a small red brick house in the snow forest.

There is also a sleigh pulled by reindeer parked next to it.

There are some white and ice blue snowflake stickers on the walls and windows, as well as golden bell stickers, inlaid with glitter, which shine under the light.

The most essential thing is of course the Christmas tree. She cleared a large space next to the window in the living room and arranged a decent Christmas tree.

Choose a place that doesn't block the TV, and then play a familiar TV series while decorating it with your own hands.

The decorations were redeemed directly from Golden Finger online shopping in large packages, and she was dazzled by the various little things.

There are long strips of ornaments for wrapping, such as string lights with small light bulbs, red, green, gold and silver lace ribbons, and ribbons with small bells tied to them;

Some are hung directly on the branches, such as gift boxes, plastic candy canes, Christmas hats, various Christmas balls, plush snowflakes, golden bells, dwarfs, elves...

There is also a very important thing to put on the big star at the top of the Christmas tree.

She wanted a sparkling Christmas tree, so she first wrapped a string of lights and hung a lot of reflective decorations. The stars on the top were also electrified.

Finally, the power was connected, and as soon as the switch was pressed, the originally dull Christmas tree began to bloom, hitting the glass with the night sky as the background color, reflecting even more beautiful brilliance.

She deliberately made the cityscape outside the window more lively, with busy traffic and bright lights. The neon lights in the distance were vaguely visible, and some searchlights were shooting into the sky.

Standing next to the Christmas tree and looking out, it's a bright night scene.

Before dinner, she walked around the house again, admiring the Christmas decorations and checking to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.

There is a circle of decorations on the edge of the ceiling, so there is no need to change it. Christmas-style ornaments can be seen everywhere on the table and low cabinets, which is interesting but not cluttered.

There are small sleds, vases with a bunch of red fruits, and plastic packages filled with cotton. You can put your hand in and pull out a handful of candies...

In addition to the living room, which is the liveliest due to its Christmas tree, and the kitchen connected to it, other closed rooms are also appropriately decorated, with many garlands hung on the doors.

After wandering around, she was satisfied and returned to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

For Christmas, she chose a portion of roasted honey-glazed chicken legs and wings. She arranged the plate herself, forming a tower shape in a red and green baking pan, and added some roasted tomatoes and rosemary as decoration in the middle.

Since she had only had a whole chicken feast on Thanksgiving a month ago, she only arranged this chicken dish, and didn’t even prepare a roasted whole chicken that matched the turkey——

Originally, her favorite food was chicken legs and wings, but she wasn't interested in chewing a whole chicken at the moment, so there was no need to get one just to show off.

In addition, a table of mixed-style dinners was prepared based on her own preferences and current dietary preferences, not limited to Christmas.

In addition to chicken, there is also a tomahawk steak with butter spicy sauce, which was redeemed from a video of a food blogger.

The beef has been cut into slices, and the meat is still red in the middle. It is extremely tender, and you can still see the gravy oozing out. The surface is covered with melted butter and hot sauce. It is the most fragrant dish on the table.

Other side dishes include a grilled lobster with pesto, a lobster cut in half covered with minced garlic; a plate of asparagus and mushrooms fried in butter and milk, exuding a faint milky aroma.

There is also a roasted and wrinkled zucchini, which she made by herself when eating barbecue. The zucchini is cut in half vertically and roasted until soft, and then a thick layer of meat sauce is spread on top. The taste is also very good.

She took out two portions, one was spicy mushroom meat sauce, and the other was sweet and sour tomato meat sauce with some melted cheese on top. Just putting it there stimulates the appetite.

The staple food is soft-crust tacos, some of which are already wrapped and prepared in two flavors: curry beef and onion pork; there are also hard tacos that are neatly stacked on a long plate, and you can fill them with your own fillings.

It can be filled with chicken and other side dishes, and a cheese, tuna, onion and mayonnaise sauce is also prepared, which can be eaten directly as crispy chips.

The tuna in the sauce is cut into cubes and mixed in. There is also a portion of raw tuna on the side. You can eat it directly by dipping it in soy sauce and mustard, or you can throw it into the sauce for endless refills.

In addition, there is a refreshing fruit and vegetable salad, with lettuce, red cabbage, sweet corn kernels, pickled olives, pineapple, apple, mixed with lemon garlic juice, and finally added some crispy toasted bread crumbs.

The wooden tables in the restaurant were packed to the brim. In fact, there were not too many dishes. The main reason was that the plates were very large. For the purpose of pretentious presentation, many dishes only occupied the center of the plate.

The drink is peach juice with mint ice cubes. The first time I tasted this combination was a cake from a certain store, a mint mousse peach cut into cubes.

She liked it very much when she ate it and thought it was a bit strange, but that was her preference, so she changed it casually and it was also good to drink it as juice.

A piece of Basque cake was prepared for dessert after the meal, but she was not sure whether she could eat the dense cheesecake at that time.

The meal drama is ready aside, let’s start the meal!

I have eaten some of the dishes on this table, such as the grilled chicken, fried asparagus, and the salad. They are all very good and I will come again next time. The only ones I have not eaten are the steak and tuna sauce.

But to be honest, just by looking at the names of these two dishes, you can tell that they cannot be delicious. She was quite satisfied with this dinner.

The mint and peach drink was so satisfying that she also watched the last piece of Basque and slowly sipped half of it with a small spoon.

She baked this Basque herself, and it was the only baked dessert that she could make directly without reading the recipe.

Well... although there is also the reason why Basque's production process is really simple, it is mainly because this seemingly ordinary little cake is actually the dessert of her life.
