This was on Christmas Eve. We had traditional Czech Christmas Eve dinner consisting of mushroom soup, Lake Trout and Whitefish from Lake Huron and potato salad.

Desserts varied from mom’s kolache, Polish kolache, cream rolls, French macarons and a French log.

The best part was that my parents could join us from Big Rapids and Emma flew in with Sam from France.

There were 12 of us so we were like 12 apostles. Presents were plentiful.

I have yet to take a photo of the best one. A huge poster for our Moravian Sons Distillery tasting room in @The Old Theater in downtown Lowell.

Stay tuned for more Christmas news.
