It's a traditional Italian seafood meal brought over by my grandparents and each year we have about 15 - 20 of our friends and family over. The menu is about 28 items from appetizer to dessert.
I have a Christmas display that has over 50 characters. I actually make them myself! A Charlie Brown Christmas and The Grinch are the feature characters!
Well, I used to. Now the thing has been vandalized so badly we're not putting it up any longer. Maybe if we move one day.....
Love remote controlled stuff. Planes, boats, and cars. They're all fun.
