Did you have a meal with friends and family on the holiday and miss all the turkey and dressing leftovers at your house? Or there are just the two of you and you do not want to cook a big ol' turkey for two people. I discovered an easy way to have it all. Grease the sides of your crockpot or use one of those nifty slow cooker liners ( I swear by the liners). Place a small package of dry stuffing mix in the bottom. Sprinkle with a 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth. Slice an onion and dice a celery stalk and layer on top of stuffing. Place a thawed Butterball 3 pound turkey roast (found in your grocers freezer) on top of celery and onion. Cook on low all day or high for 4-5 hours and you have the best of both worlds. A scrumptious turkey dinner for two with some for leftovers if you are moderate eaters.

Christmas Day with Barb & Butch
We started our day in the usual way with an English muffin and poached egg followed by our first walk of the day.
Then I made a Pecan-crusted Spinach and Artichoke casserole for my contribution to Christmas dinner. I like to make things I wouldn't make for the two of us. Also there were plenty of things there that Butch would and did eat without my casserole.
Right after dinner twelve of us decided to play shuffleboard. The sun was beating down on the court and I would have sworn it was ninty but when I checked it was only eighty. But it was a very still day...so after shuffleboard we went for a swim to cool off. That seemed to work rather well.
This was followed by a glass of wine at Bill and Jo's. Then off for our second walk of the day. It was starting to cool off nicely by then.
All in all it was a different but very nice Christmas day
