Hello amigos. What a busy week! I am getting ready to spend Christmas in the Dominican Republic. Only thinking about packing makes me want to change my mind and stay home, put up my Christmas tree and stay cozy. I hate packing, but I have not spent Christmas in my country for about twenty years and I am very excited to finally have the opportunity.
I am going home for a month- Yeah! It is funny how divided I am about this trip. I am of two minds set; the truth is that I love Christmas in the states, I love to hear the holiday’s songs in the radio playing (Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole or Louis Armstrong), the Christmas movies, the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller center, Macy’s Christmas window decorations and the cold weather. It is so bizarre I am not a winter weather person at all, but for some reason when it comes to Christmas I think of Santa Claus coming down the chimney and of floating snowflakes coming out the sky. Anyway, I am happy and very lucky to be spending Christmas in the DR with my husband, son and with all my relatives. And while waiting and preparing for my trip, packing luggage, wrapping gifts and sending Christmas cards I made this easy pasta lunch, little neck clams with chorizo over pasta.
