Christmas and Holiday Dishes
Monday Greetings, Friends!
What did the weekend bring your way besides some last minute shopping?
Only 9 days 'til Christmas.
Hard to believe!
My sister, Jennie, and I had that conversation today.
Jen said, "I can't believe Christmas is only 9 days away. Just yesterday it seems it was Thanksgiving."
I agreed. "When we were kids, Christmas seemed a million days away." We laughed.

Christmas Cookies to Gift
Good morning Monday!
Happy new week, Daymakers.
How was your weekend?
All well here. Been a little wet and chilly so I decided to make a pot of chili which is simmering on the stove as I write this and - man, oh, man - does it smell good. And it tastes really good, too. Every time I go into the kitchen and stir it around, I take a little spoonful bite. I've lost count of how many times I've stirred it around and taken a spoonful bite.
Hopefully, I'll still be hungry by the time dinner rolls around. ha!
Hope you're having a grand time enjoying + preparing home + thoughtful gifts + embracing this magic time of year.
