May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.

We finally got our tree up yesterday and the house now looks ready for Christmas. I might not be, but the house is! I think next year I would like to try my hand at making a tree skirt; one that combines Hanukkah symbols and Christmas symbols. I also want to make David a Christmas stocking that is green and has a rack of billiard balls toward the toe. Alas, lots of ideas and little time.
Today is baking day: orange-cranberry-nut cookies, gingerbread cookies, and white chocolate apricot oatmeal cookies. I have a cookie exchange at work Tuesday so it will be nice to have most of the baking done. The only other thing I'll be making it is my grandmother's poppy cake.
Hi Paulissa,
ReplyDeleteyour tree is so pretty. It sounds as though you are baking some wonderful sweets. I can only imagine how wonderful your kitchen smells.

Thanks Iris! Things have been so busy that I feel like I've gotten a late start on everything!
ReplyDeleteThe house is smelling pretty festive right now. I had to hunt for the cookie cutters; we haven't made cutout cookies since we moved here.
