“At Christmas, all roads lead home.” — Marjorie Holmes
I believe that wherever you are or whoever you’re with, home is where love and laughter exist. Christmas is in everyone’s heart.
Christmas at Maison Epperson
The food:

Hot cocoa + Candy cane = Christmas in a cup
We received so many blessings this year that another roast turkey was in order.

Thanksgiving part 2! Tom roasted a Butterball Turkey for our Christmas eve dinner.

Turkey stuffing: roasted chestnuts, sausage, onions, fresh sage, heavy cream, and sourdough bread
A Christmas miracle!
I don’t know who bought all the fresh sage in the market but that’s just not right! Haha! Tom and I searched high and low for the herbs for two days and with no luck. Thank God for the kind soul who gave us fresh sage for our turkey stuffing! We love you! #youknowwhoyouare

Sharing sage is caring!

Snack at the park: Bonchon chicken wings

Assorted cookies as snack… breakfast… lunch… dinner… midnight snack.
Since my family is half American and half Filipino, our meals were divided as follows:
Christmas eve dinner and brunch were American(ish)-style…

Like what I said before, tradition vetoes trends!

Aryanna’s all-day pajama style!
The Christmas table setting:
The theme of our table setting this year was “12 Forever” — a bit grown-up but always child-like.

Plato-platuhan
Touches of elegant gold + Juvenile prints = 12 Forever

Fun and festive plates

Kyoot!
