The dessert choices were Trifle or Christmas Pudding with either warm custard or whipped cream. The trifle has fruit and jello, then custard, then whipped cream with fruit on top. The Christmas puddings were great too! Steamed on top of the stove for six hours or so.
After the dessert comes the tea, coffee and shortbread. Jo had made plain shortbread and chocolate chip shortbread. She had also made the individual mincemeat pies.
After shortbread the chocolate trays went out....Bendix Dark Chocolates and After Eight Mints....ummmmmm.
The two sittings for lunch overlapped a wee bit. The first group went to the sitting room/lounge for their coffee, shortbread and chocolates. It was nice for them with the tree and decorated fireplace.

The second group included the board/trustees. There was a short program for them. They sang a few carols, then Sarah sang. Richard read two of his poems. Everyone seemed to have a really good time. Olive, who painted the picture I bought, came back to the kitchen area to see me....and so did Margaret Byatt who has been in the Bible study.
