Everyone is too busy to stir……………..but we are all decorated and ready for Santa! With a view from this way ……….

and that…………..

The animals talk at Christmas you know……….

And the table is almost set…………we just have to add two more place settings!

This year, it is Santa and two reindeer on display………

And here is Donna, ha ha!


And here is Dancer…….

And we must find room for the primitive tree……..

and the forty more ornaments we bought on our travels this year……..the tree keeps getting bigger and bigger!


We must have a tree at the door………..

and a wreath too…….

It’s been baking and baking for me…….Do my gingerbread men look like they have been on a diet?

Biscotti was new for the crowd this year; salted caramel, fruitcake and chocolate latte……..I went a little overboard with the Biscotti!


I had to paint one in the Waterlogue App!

My daughter says my English Toffee is the best thing I make!

But who doesn’t like a snowball at Christmas?

If you’re from the Midwest, like we are, you must make Buckeyes!

and a pie or two as well……….Caramel Apple Pie and Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie!

And Christmas would not be complete without Fruitcake (OK two fruitcakes) in memory of my mother!

It’s Christmas Eve and the decorating and Baking is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!
From my home to your’s, Merry Christmas!
A blessed Christmas season to you and your family!

First time I see the Christmas tree! How so? Well, in many cases there are so many decorations, that is not possible to tree itself! Our habit is to show the tree also that people can admire its beauty! Yours was gorgeous!

You can see I like to bake as well as decorate! We scour the cities and villages on our vacations because we collect Christmas ornaments. One or two from each place. It’s a good thing to collect because they don’t take up too much room in the suitcases. I used to bring back heavy books!!!!! !What was I thinking? Well, I was younger, I guess, and it seemed like a good idea at the time! The tree keeps getting bigger and bigger! This year I had two! I even found an ornament in Porvoo!
