My first Christmas in my own place was a last minute adventure. My toddler son and I were supposed to head back to my hometown to spend the day with family, but a snowstorm prevented us from traveling anywhere. Rather than spend the day as a twosome, I invited over a college friend who was also stranded and whipped up a ham dinner for the three of us.
My friend was grateful for the company and the meal and we were all famished by the time we sat down at the table. I hope I was the first one to try the ham (although I am unsure on that one) because I spit it right back out.
It was rancid.
We ended up having some hot dogs with some vegetables and potatoes on the side, but it was still a special Christmas that I will always remember because it was spent with my son and a good friend.
