Monday Greetings ! Presenting first Monday of December Top of the Morning.  A total entertaining line-up beginning with: MONSTERA ALBO - the marvelous outside the gift box idea to WOW that someone-someone on your list who's always a challenge to cool gift.  As in the person who seems to have everything. CANDY CANE hanging from your bird feeder?  Read this little piece and find out why. Ohhhhh -- the GOOSE STORY is a total ear-to-ear smile read and also a wonder of the animal kingdom ((so to speak)) that lives among us.  Or do we live among them? The Coolest Cookie Box presetation is just that --- COOLEST COOKIE BOX PRESENTATION EVER.  Super impressive. SPANISH POTATO SOUP is so on my list to make this week.  What a great reading recipe.  YUM The FAB-FIVE recipes for gift giving or appetizers are Rock-Star-Status and too intriguing not to seriously consider making.
