Sunday

Trust me, we ARE the Limo People...

After a weekend of snow fall auctioniering ... the on going "2 inches, four ... I hear 6 now 12 do I hear 14?" has run its course, the Limo People part deux were not going to let a little of the white stuff stop us. (no not sugar, flour or powdered sugar all snow baby!)

So our gang started at 6 pm and devoured crab cakes, gourmet cheese-toasties, chocolate bark an assortment of cheese and meats plus some nice Prosecco with cranberry juice to fuel us to get to the next home. The first home had a tree that was jam packed with round ornaments and the tree was 15 feet tall (as tall as the amount of snow we are getting!) It was decked out like it was Rockefeller Plaza and it was a beautiful delight.

The gang loaded up in the limo, as we slid down the driveway and smack dab into the limo to find this was going to be a night to remember.

The next stop was a home that had four Christmas trees: flocked, animated, black and sparkling silver. The food on this stop was everything from a rum cake that was sweet and rum-o-liscious, stuffed mushrooms, gourmet meatballs (which were like a mini meatloaf) cheese balls and dips, shrimp the size of Clyde's leg and an assortment of wines.

The next stop started out with a bit more hazard as the roads were just a tad hazardous, but we found blueberry pomegranate martinis awaiting us and the rest is a blur. There was a massaging chair that did not leave any part of my body untouched and I nearly proposed on sight haha. Homemade cookies and a platter of speciality dips and crackers were all for our tasting as we viewed a Christmas village with a new plump tree that sparkled with all the Christmas joy. We knew it was time to go when we heard splashing noise but realize it was just one us pouring our drink on the floor hehe. But we did pack up and find the roads were even less traveled (so we knew that this was Jack Frost's version of the road not chosen).

Our last stop, though we wanted to go on longer but the roads were getting to the point that we may never make it home at all, was in a quaint neighborhood community that felt like we walked into a New York condo! Our host and hostess had a party already in progress and we joined in. The hit food item at their party were Rosemary cashews. Yumo! There was more wine selections than people and their tree glowed. I say glowed because the female of the house just had a baby 6 weeks ago and she looked smashing and the little guy, he got to see the Limo people and for that he will always be honored.

Well, the fun had to end at some point and we paid off the limo driver to keep much of what happened a secret, however I wanted to share the highlights of the annual "come visit my tree and we will feed you" adventure!
