Hello all and happy Tuesday. I sure hope this finds you all well and safe! Well, we are finally starting to warm up a little bit. It is 20 degrees warmer this morning than it was yesterday morning! It is 24* as I type. We may see 40 today. We get to have a couple days of warm up and rain - then a cold day again (Friday). Of course, that is the day I need to go out for celebrating with sis. Hopefully there won't be any ice after rain on Thursday night.
This is my little tree! There is also my little stain glass turtle - which works perfect in the Christmas colors! I just love sitting in the evening with just the tree lights on and enjoying the colors and snuggles with Bitsy. The little table it is on has always been called the 'library' table in the family - it was grandmas. I have a big piece of glass over the top of it to keep it from getting scratched up. That is where I put my cards I receive now (under glass). I get fewer these days than in the past (used to hang them). So, it works out perfectly to display them. I have finally started getting some in the past day or so.
Incidentally, that same table is where momma would find their tree all decorated on Christmas morning, when she was little. Santa brought their tree!
Here is another fun recipe to think about trying. A cranberry/nut cheeseball. I am making this when the kids come up for Christmas. They like a lot of different flavors and tastes, so I think this will be perfect. I have everything here to make it.
I just love fun and easy recipes for goodies.
I have been keeping busy getting things in order for all my goodie bags. Making things and making sure I have everything I need.
What have you all been doing? Are you ready?
Here is a reminisce for the day. Who remembers the Norelco shaver Santa? I remember seeing that on TV as a kiddo. Probably one of the first commercials I remember seeing for Christmas. Hope it makes you smile a little.
Go out there today and be the LIGHT that the world needs. We can all add a bit of sunshine for someone else and to the world.
Good morning, I love your turtle! Today we will be starting our Christmas baking. The list of people we give to has dwindled in the last few years. We are going to a family event on saturday I'm taking a green salad, it's a pot luck event. Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteThe little turtle is adorable! He can shine all year long.
ReplyDeleteIt's overcast right now but supposedly the sun will come out this afternoon. We moan about the weather but it will be what it will be. There are other things for which to be grateful.
Cheese balls used to be the big thing for entertaining. Your recipe with the cranberries and pecans sounds delish. I used to make one that had dried beef in it. It's interesting how some dishes make the rounds again.
We need to shine so that people know who our Redeemer is and that He lives.
Going to run some errands so I need to dig out a warm pair of boots. Sidewalks may be clean (or not), but the ground is still cold. Enjoy your day!
