Daily Food Diary – Day 358 of 365 – Seclusion 101 with AnneMarie

Today is the 358th Day that I have posted my Daily Food Diary without one miss!🤩

Today is also Christmas Day so I am going rogue – sharing a bit of our Christmas with you.

Christmas Eve / Genie’s Birthday – Following a full supper of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, roasted vegetables, cabbage rolls, cranberries, buns/yorkshire pudding Brazilian cheese buns, Genie opened her presents and we shared in her birthday cake.

This morning we returned for a quick brunch of pancakes, bacon, ham, and fruit. Following which, we headed down to Genie & Alec’s suite to open gifts.

Family Christmas 2025 was a merry, relaxing, loving, Peace on Earth success.

Appreciation for Alec’s Mom for opening up her house to all of us for the past two days and for taking the lead in the kitchen to ensure all went smoothly for Alec & Genie’s first run at hosting the holidays.

Kudos to Alec and Genie for the festive decorations, the efficient set up, and of course the hosting duties served up with their sparkling enthusiasm, kindness, and consideration.

The wins for the day… it was all wins. After three days of hosting Baccardi and Cornelius, Molly even ‘won’ a bit of personal time while we were out.

My Daily Food Diary roundup win..

The balance and confidence to set aside the calorie counter for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. I am enjoying all of the foods and treats of the season – in moderation and with a reasonable amount of caution. (Unlimited sugar is not my friend 🙄 even at Christmas.
