Because I was in a chocolate-induced stupor yesterday and never got around to preparing a post for today,
and because I have two 2014 7MSN Ranch calendars left on my shelf, let's have a giveaway.
Leave your answer to this question in the comments by 8 a.m. Mountain time Friday morning:
What did you eat for Christmas dinner?
Two winners will be selected at random, and I will mail you a calendar on Saturday.

Expecting some family disaster, I raced outside to be greeted by a 3 year old ninja turtle (he was sooo cute) and ... (drum roll) Christmas Dinner!! My son and his son the ninja delivered a full meal of roast meat and fresh veges. TWO desserts, some Christmas cake, a few chocolates AND a bottle of beer!! It was quite honestly the nicest present I received this year!! Best Wishes for your festive season! Heather from New Zealand
