Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner? I certainly can’t! I know I need a little jump start to the holiday, so I pulled this lovely Modern Priscilla magazine from 1919 off the shelf and have a little excerpt on Christmas dinners you might find fun, amusing, or inspiring. I’m just glad we have modern kitchens (and I don’t mean the 1919 version!)

Usually some form of pot luck is involved.

Hmm, maybe I'll find another delicacy to serve in red apple baskets.I cook for holidays, it's such fun (to me) to put together a big, pretty feast- though the eating always seems anti-climatic. Mom always sets the most beautiful table on holidays, I suppose we're dreadfully old-fashioned.
