I'm on my own now. Christmas Eve day I will continue the tradition of fasting breakfast and lunch. My evening meal will be fish and toasted homemade bread. Christmas Day meal will be a thick Porter House steak so rare the steer will beller when I sink my teeth in it. Side dish will be chicken pasta salad and croissant rolls. Dessert will be German Lebekuchen and when I'm done I'll raise my glass of "middles", (that my neighbor stilled for me), to all who passed before me this past year.........to my Mother, to PA24 Doug Woodin, and also two of my local friends. May their memories live forever. You all take care now and have a very Blessed Christmas.
