Christmas Cheer!
Welcome to BRB, everyone! Can you believe
Christmas is next week and then New Years the week after? I
don't know about you, but as I get older the days just seem to fly by. I
remember my twenties, when it felt like everything took forever, and I thought I'd
never age. Now it's all down hill. lol Not really.
Honestly, even after fighting illness, the loss of
loved ones, and enduring some difficult times, I have enjoyed my life thus far. Because, in the end, the good has always outweighed the bad. For instance, the laughter, the quirky moments
that just happen without rhyme or reason and, the lasting friendships, I've
cultivated over the years. And, our crazy families that we can't seem to live without. Those are things that will never be forgotten.
It's during
the holidays, I find myself overcome with nostalgia for my childhood, especially
Christmas. It's fun to share memories,
mix the old with the new, and keep family traditions alive. My three
favourite activities during the holidays are listening to the music and adding
to my already large collection of CDs, baking and decorating the Christmas
tree.
Today, I thought I'd share a recipe,
a little holiday humour, and a few others tidbits, that I hope will make you smile. Have a great weekend!
First the smexy pictures....
Well, jingle my bells.... *big grin*
Now for the humour!
And, a yummy recipe!
