Here is a link to Chocolate Banoffee Biscuit Balls that Beate asked for the other day in this post. I had referred to them as chocolate covered cookie caramel pops.
These are some photos from our Christmas Eve dinner with husband M, daughter L and her boyfriend, son K and myself. I started cooking at around 4.30 pm, I was roasting chicken. All the dishes turned out perfectly including the homemade apple pie my friend had given to me.
After dinner, we decided to watch the Star Wars IV movie, it was very good considering it is a 1977 movie. It was well after midnight when the movie ended and we decided to open our gifts so that we could all sleep in on Christmas morning. We planned to attend M's extended family gathering that afternoon.
It was an interesting coincidence knowing that it was the first full moon on Christmas Day in 38 years. The last full moon on Christmas Day was in 1977, the year Star Wars IV was released and here we were watching it in the wee hours of Christmas Day 2015.

Looks wonderful! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
Everything looks yummy. How did you like Christmas Eve opening? We love it. Neat about the full moon and Star Wars.
Looks extremely yummy, I must grab the recipe for those toffee pops! Glad you had a fun family time, that's something I miss. Hugs, Valerie
George Lucas actually did some touch-ups to the DVD and Bluray versions to the original Star Wars trilogy to make it look more modern in special effects. A lot of super-fans didn't like it, but I didn't see anything wrong with it.
We did like opening gifts on Christmas Eve it led to a very relaxed Christmas Morning I was even able to go for a nice walk!
Everything looks so delicious!
Oh boy, i don;t think i could see another repeat of the original SW must admit but it was the best of the bunch, mainly b/c sir Alex Guiness was in it. :)
Looks like you had a good meal there. Well done it came out so well too.
Mmm, looks yummy! I'm glad you're having such a wonderful holiday season! I wouldn't have been able to resist the apple pie...
I didn't realise the coincidence that the last time a full moon happened on Christmas a Star Wars movie came out, and the same thing happened this year. Why, it's like it isn't a moon at all...
I'll take a slice of that apple pie. Sure glad you didn't eat it all. HaHa
Yeah, that's what I find too. And then we wake up, and we have more Christmas, if that makes sense.
We love the Christmas Eve thing.
Everything looks absolutely delicious! :) I'm glad you all had a wonderful day celebrating.
