I've pretty much decided to send New Year's cards next year. I like sending cards, but I things get so hectic before Christmas that I'm always feeling bad that I didn't get them out "in time." Putting my focus on the quieter days after Christmas will make it so much easier.

It's wonderful that you've developed a holiday schedule that permits you to enjoy the moments and not rush through them franticly to get the next thing done! I admire that. Peace.

Don't know if they really are that good or it's just the tradition.<br />They found a recipe on the internet and brought over all the ingredients.<br />They were ok and everyone had fun making them.<br />I dove into my bag of recipes and found the copy my Mom had given me. So now my son has the original and will try them again.<br />It was special for me to pass on the recipe in her handwriting, because HE wanted it.<br />Suephotowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-29231521725112207182020-01-06T11:54:13.498-06:002020-01-06T11:54:13.498-06:00 I love how you have adapted time for ax holiday j...
