What the World needs now is...LOVE.
My Felt Advent Calendar. It had little daily prompts in the pockets when it was given to me. I still have them but didn't put them into the pockets this year (or last). I'm sad to have to admit this- but I am not feeling the least bit Christmasy. I am scheduled to be making Cookies today. I am not looking forward it. None of the cookies I will be making- are cookies I eat. So much of my cooking is stuff I don't eat. I am making the Confetti Sprinkles Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies. I am postponing the sugar cookies with frosting for February 14th.
I am also going to the grocery to buy more raw cranberries as the Brandy Cranberry Relish is wildly popular and has been requested by THREE people. Evidenced by the return of empty washed jars the day after being gifted prior to Thanksgiving. I will try not to have it boil over all over and into the stove this time.
I am not really looking forward to much of anything right now. But I am not depressed or anything. I am going about my days in the normal ways. The only personal thing bothering me- my left eyelid rash is back. Stress related and also could be part of the evergreen allergy. I do touch the tree everyday while watering it. And I could have then touched my eyelid. These things happen.
Some thing going on with Blogger so I am going to stop and publish.

I don't feel very Christmasy either. We haven't gone out and about so no Christmas shopping. We ordered a new refrigerator online for our present to each other and it was delivered several weeks ago. The tree is up with presents for the little ones under it with no idea how to get the present to them yet. I'm thinking just driving by and dropping them off onto the porch, text that they are there and wait for them to be taken in. (Porch Pirates, you know). I'm going to try to turn a gingerbread recipe into cupcakes today, just for something different. Then I'll bake a cherry pie. I've been baking a lot lately. Merry Christmas to you and G.
I know what you mean. I was actually THANKFUL to NOT have to shop for gifts.
We have a storm coming in for Christmas and will most likely have the power go out for Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day.
So- a perfect holiday. No heat, no lights and no way to cook.
I don’t know what I’m looking forward to either ... but brandy cranberry relish sounds yummy!
Omg! My comment went through! Perhaps this is the dawn of a new era.
