agt_spookyThe hubby and I had an absolutely wonderful holiday dinner party last night with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
charityflint and her husband. But before the party started I had "help" wrapping gifts from a certain little kitten. Thanks, Bean, I couldn't have done it without you. ;-)
This year it was our turn to host, so we chose a French bistro for dinner, the same one we had takenlausbub0402 to when she was here visiting, since we were so impressed with the food. And last night didn't disappoint. We all ordered a different entree so we could share and it worked out great. Everything from the bread to the soup to the entrees to the dessert was top notch. As well as the drinks. One of the highlights of this bistro is that they're also an absinthe bar. I'd never tried it, so the hubby ordered a glass so that we could all have a taste. I love how it's "prepared" table side, with the sugar cube and the water. So cool! And even though I'm not a big fan of the flavor of licorice, I found the absinthe to taste quite good. I'm only disappointed I didn't see the Little Green Fairy. :-)
After dinner we had planned to go for a sleigh ride but the weather didn't cooperate - it was pouring rain. :-( So instead it was back to the house for presents and gluhwein and Christmas cookies and a roaring fire. What a great combination! I ended up with some really cool gifts: a Star Wars Christmas sweatshirt, an R2-D2 cell phone case, two books, a CD and a DVD set. Even Bean got some new toys from Charity's cat Kola. :-)
All in all a lovely evening spent with friends enjoying each others company - what the holiday season is all about.
