Time for FFF over at Susanne's Place!
1. I must be one of the most fortunate women in the world.... my hubby is so dear... and caring... yesterday while I was celebrating (see last post)... he was vaccuuming the house. And today he is scouring the bathroom.... Now that says "I love you" better than anything I can think of!!!
2. Tomorrow is going to be so much fun!!! Our SS class is going to celebrate Christmas by going to a beautiful local landmark...
This gorgeous hotel is the Christmas destination of our community!
Various civic organizations decorate trees and the community comes by throughout the season and votes on their favorite! The trees are amazing! There are hundreds of them!
Our brunch venue is amazing and the food is sublime!
There are several stations with everything from carved entrees
to sweets of every imaginable shape and size!
3. I cannot believe the temps today... bright...sunny... and 70 degrees!
4. I am still in the throes of planning Christmas treats.... I know some family favorites are Sausage Balls, Pecan Tassies, Soft Molasses Cookies, Peanut Butter with Reeses cup Cookies, 7 Layer Cookies, Chez Mix. and Puppy Chow.... But surely.... we can change that up a bit... or are treats supposed to be just that?? .. traditional... and absolutely expected at Christmas.... any thoughts on that one??
5. A few years ago our class did a progressive dinner and it was so much fun to see how everyone decorated for the holidays...
That year our home looked like this!
Wow... I am much more subdued this year.

I haven't been to a progressive meal in years and years. I remember it was such a fun time. I will have to put that on my list of things to do in 2016.
ReplyDeleteYour treats list sounds wonderful. I guess it would depend on the recipients as to whether a change is in order. Some of them might be VERY depressed to NOT get one of your specialties.
Have a great week.
I have no idea where my comment flew away too. I was saying that years ago our Sunday School Class would go to the Smithfield Inn in Virginia and we would enjoy Peanut Soup. They had chitlings too but I passed on those. This hotel you show looks wonderful and so many trees. Our home looks lovely at all those different years.
ReplyDeleteAll the Christmas pictures made me very happy! I love to see hotels and homes all sparkly and decorated! I tend to stick to traditional at Christmas though once in awhile if I have time and motivation I'll definitely try something new. This year I'm trying a new recipe for the turkey. Keeping my fingers crossed we won't be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend is over but I know you had a great time at that party! The venue looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWeather has been crazy this year, hasn't it? My son in PA had warmer weather today than we did in SoCal!
