The countdown to Christmas is here!!!! I am in the midst of finishing some wrapping....writing some special cards...and going to start BAKING!!!! The weekend was insane...An and I went out on Saturday to finish up the shopping..it was pouring buckets! I made a huge pot of chili yesterday (for the week so I can concentrate on the baking)..and I had to run out for some celery and onions..just up the road to one of the local produce places...this is a picture of the tree on the deck. You can see it is dark and dreary outside...it was only 2 in the afternoon! Gotta run...my granddaughter just showed up...hope everyone is starting the week out super!
