Our air conditioner is busted. Better now than the middle of summer lol.

They are going to have to rip out the whole unit which is in my tiny laundry room right off my kitchen. They are starting the job Tuesday and it was going to take all day and maybe part of the next day. I was planning to start my brothers food on Tues :mad: They have to pull out the washer to replace the ac and the only place for the thing to sit is in the kitchen blocking my stove.
Since my brother is getting his meal Wed and I always end up having to keep it in the fridge some before he gets it. I am thinking of getting up really early Tuesday morning and baking his turkey in the oven before they get here. I have a big indoor roaster outdoor smoker that I could warm and glaze his precooked ham in. I have never tried using the electric roaster so this would give me the chance to try it out I just dont want to ruin their dinner. I have read that they tend to not cook at the temp you set them for.
 
Wow janie. What a mess! Sorry, dear!

My family finally sorted out our holiday schedule- where and when we're eating what meal... etc.

I'm hosting my sister's family and my Mom at my place Tuesday Night. I'm making a pork roast, mashed potatoes and all the trimmings. Plus a mincemeat pie, a butterskotch meringue pie and peppermint ice-cream truffles w/ hot fudge sauce. We'll open up gifts Mom gets us- and Mom'll open our gifts for her.

Then Christmas Eve Night we all go to Dad & Dolores' place (not Mom- Mom & Dad don't get together, ever.) where our tradition is to exchange gifts, then have an appetizer potluck where everyone brings cold and hot finger foods. We end up with everything from cheese/salami/crackers, pigs-in-a-blanket, and meatballs w/ grape-jelly/chili-sauce, to shrimp cocktail, celery and olive cream cheese, and cookies and such. We then go to midnight worship service.

Then Christmas Day I work a double shift. Karla's all open gifts from under their own tree then go to her in-laws. Dad & Dolores drive 2 hours north to visit her family. And my Mom will visit her sister's an hour from here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
