A few of my favorite things.....

We have quite a collection of Christmas books. I love looking through them, even thou most of them are for children. In 1983 we gave Eric, The Gingerbears' First Christmas. It was also his first Christmas. In 1984 we gave him, The Gingerbears Help Santa. Eric used to call Santa "Ho-Ho."

Tonight I'm going to sit with some tea & cookies and read both books.

Amie will be flying home today, it's been TWO years since she has been home. Last year I had a 27 hour Christmas day, I started on LI and ended in LA. Two years ago we were all together in Keene. It will be so nice to have all four of us together at home this year!

When loved ones are near it's the most wonderful time of the year.

Thomas' Cranberry Breakfast Bread is to die for. Go out and buy a couple loafs.

I'll refund the cost of the bread if you are not completely satisfied! : ) Served best toasted, slightly burned with a bit of butter.

Well, where have I been? I've been at home and I've driven in a white out, had the furnace go out for 24 hours, had computer problems & still do, I'm posting this using a Plan B, and I've been very busy readying for everyone to come home.

Over the next few days before Christmas I'm going to post about a few of my favorite Christmas things.
