  A different Christmas

  If this year was normal, we would have flown to Gurnee, Illinois, and spent Christmas with our Grandparents and aunt on my mom's side. We always enjoy this, as we get to see her Bernese mountain dog named Jasper. However, due to Covid 19 we had to stay home. I enjoy staying at home, because I feel more relaxed then having to go different places and feeling rushed to do things. My dad normally prepares Beef Wellington, A traditional English dish. It consists of sirloin steak brushed with mustard, crushed mushrooms, and then wrapped in pastry and prosciutto. It is truly delicious! This year we decided to mix up because this year has been pretty mixed up. This year, we had lobster fettuccine with Filet Mignon! My father is an excellent chef, and comes up with ideas out of nowhere! My mother helps plan and execute them, and she is my dad's sous chef. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner, and I am blessed to have such an amazing life!
