Christmas with Watsons.

I love Christmas! This was mine and Jeremy's first Christmas together and it couldn't of been better! We decided that we wanted to be at home and begin our holiday traditions. One of these was making Christmas dinner. So we invited Jer's brother and sister-in-law and i made half the meal and they made the other half.

This was the first time I have ever made a turkey by myself. Sure there were many years where I assisted my mother during the preparing of a meal and i knew it took alot of work, but doing it all by yourself can turn out to an all day kind of thing.

Now my meal was not perfect...there were a couple mishaps in my meal (which i figured was going to happen.) The first one was actually with the turkey. It was going perfect (even though i had no sort of roasting pan) then suddenly about half way during the turkey's cooking time i heard a sizzling noise I went to check on it but figured it was just cooking.


I later found out that part of the bag in the back (where i could not see) had been melted for it was over the side of the pan. So my bag stuck to the turkey taking off some of the skin, but it still tasted really good. Another mishap was with the sweet potatoes. I cooked them for an hour but for some reason they would not cook. Anyways...by the time it was for dinner i decided not to serve them. So after dinner I tasted them...guess what, it was really good. Anyways it all worked out and it was a really good for my first Christmas dinner.
