Even though I forgot to take photos and distribute all of my holiday gifts while everyone was at my house, we had a good time and some great food, thanks to all of the au pairs who shared their native dishes.  Delicious guacamole,  mushroom pie, tuna fish,  2 different kinds of potato salad, a chocolate cake, wonderful German cookies (what are they called again?),  and, of course, bagels, French Toast and Bacon, egg and cheese.  What a feast!  Thank you all for sharing a little of your holiday traditions with us.
