Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you out there. May the warmth of the season brings great joy and peace to your heart. This is a photo taken during our Christmas eve party. We put on the santa hat to inject some festive mood into the party.

The temperature at St Louis was probably negative five degree celcius, but our little apartment was so warm that a heater was not required. I had tried my hands on preparing a honey baked ham for the first time following a recipe from allrecipes.com. And you bet, it turned out spectacular! I was so busy that i forgot to take a photo of it. Here, is a photo taken by our friend Melvin. The rest of the friends brought their signature dishes to add to the big feast.
The food was definitely too much for 9 adults and 2 kids. We ended up having a Christmas lunch at our place to finish up the leftover. Though it was fun to host friends at our apartment, Chintong and I were totally exhausted after the 2 days celebration. Chintong said it was more tiring than working...
