Our happy holidays!
Our family celebration for Christmas/birthdays/and New Years was such fun! I love it when we all can be together!
A few appetizers while we waited for the meal to be served.
Garnet bracelet salad is a layered potato salad that originated in Russia. Ours had layers of grated potatoes, carrots, eggs, beets, walnuts and mayonnaise, and was decorated with pomegranate seeds. It was as delicious as it was beautiful and festive.
The Russian word for pomegranate and garnet gemstone are the same – «гранат»
The Garnet Bracelet is a short novel by Russian writer Alexander Kurpin and is a tragic story of unrequited love.
I will be reading the book!

My son cooked our 24 pound turkey outdoors on the grill and did a marvelous job! It was moist and perfectly seasoned. We ended up getting a bit of snow the next day, so although it was cold, I was glad that it was dry out on the deck for grilling!
These petit fours were a gift to all of us from my mom. She just celebrated her 90th birthday and distance made it impossible for her to be here.

And birthday cake! It was a wonderful get together with the entire family.
I hope 2024 ends up being a good year for our world

My dear happy new year✨❤️all look so yummy
Thanks, dear friend! I hope you have a good year. I do wish you were close enough to bake the cake for us! This one came from the grocery store bakery
This year I hope to do many things to improve my life and my house, at least I have already had 3 sales this week and that makes me very happy. I hope this is a good year for you too!
Thanks Pix!

Looking very nice and delicious meal. Cake and Russian salad especially, I like the most. Its a great time having gathering.
The salad was my favorite part of the meal! I just had the last of it tonight for dinner and I'm wishing there was more left!
That's some seriously good-looking food! Even the crudité had me drooling! 😁
One of my Christmas gifts to my daughter-in-law was an apron that says Chef Ella. She is a great cook!
Thanks for the support, @thekittygirl and @innerblocks! ❤️
Amazing treat. Nice holiday atmosphere.
Happy new year!
Hope it's a good year for you and those you love.
Love how all the food is so festively decorated.
the pomegranate broken open on top of the meat/cheese/olive tray looks really nice. I've never seen it done like that. I also had never heard of the Garnet Bracelet Salad.
What a great feast you had.
That salad was fantastic and I am quite sad it is gone! It was a beautiful addition to our holiday meal.
Happy New Year!
Wow, very awesome spent your Christmas and new year day with family. Very emotional and beautiful memories lift on that day. May God live your life with happiness and understanding in this new year. May You achieve your dream in this new year.
Thanks for the good wishes! I hope you have a wonderful 2024, too!
Happy New Year ))
Everything looks great and delicious. We usually use pomegranate as a fruit and serve it together with fruits. This is the first time I see it is served with cheese))
We often serve fruit with cheese. Apple and pear slices and grapes are common on cheese trays or paired together in lettuce salads.
Winter holidays spent with family are the best holidays ever!🥳
It was a good time! I'm already looking forward to the next time we can all be together!
Now this was really creative and it came out so well.
Happy New Year Melinda❤️
My daughter-in - law made the cornbread. Besides being beautiful, It is moist and quite delicious!
Everything looks delicious but the most important part is to be together and celebrating another year with your loved ones. Happy new year, my dear. ♥️🤗 !LUV

Your appetizers look good
I love the fact that you and your family love to eat healthily
Nice one!
There were plenty of sweets, too. It was certainly a feast!
Hope it is a good year for the whole world!
Wow what a wonderful gathering! always good when the driveway is full 😊 those appetizers look amazing. Interesting about the Garnet bracelet. Does your family have some Russian roots? I've never tried the turkey on the grill. Sounds like your son is a pro 👍
My son's wife grew up in Russia and has family there. She recently did a backdoor visit to Sochi to visit her elderly parents. Traveling to Russia from the US is not particulary easy right now, but she had not seen her family since before Covid and her Dad has been in poor health.
I love family gatherings where everyone celebrates, eats, has fun, and expresses sincere love.
Melinda (@melinda010100), my best wishes to you and your beautiful family, may 2024 be a cycle of many goals accomplished, may health reign for all and happiness cover you.
Greetings with love from Caracas.
What lovely poetic wishes for the New Year! Thank you. I am so glad to have you as a friend.
I hope 2024 is a good year for the world ❤️
Hermosa multi celebración familiar. Y excelente la propuesta literaria. Muchas bendiciones @melinda010100 para este 2024.
¡Feliz año nuevo! ¡Espero que 2024 sea un buen año para todo el mundo!
All of that looks so good! Wow! That garnet bracelet sounds really good, but I love pomegranate so I might be a little biased. That all looks very yummy!

I love pomegranates, too! They were quite marvelous on that salad and is something I could eat often!
They are awesome aren't they?
