Two extremes of culinary effort for the pot luck “Santa Supper” tonight at the Neighborhood House.
Okay, I confess. I’m responsible for the Peeps. But I also brought a tossed green salad with pears, scallions, yellow peppers, dried cranberries and homemade croutons, so at least there was effort in one of my contributions.
Before dinner, we were treated to a performance of “Frosty the Snowman.”
After dinner we sang songs and waited and waited for Santa to arrive.
Finally!
Everyone was super excited to see Santa, but 3 year old Johnny went back to thank Santa and give him a big hug. Then he went back a third time to talk with Santa about how much he liked his gift.
Good times in a small island town.
I love the penguins! Olives, cream cheese & salmon? So cute! I may need to make these for my New Years Eve party. Love the looks on the faces of the adults surrounding Santa.

Those penguins were so clever. I looked online to see how Stefanie made them. The directions looked easy.

It looks like she might have used roasted red peppers for the scarves, or pimentos.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
