Christmas
Christmas is next week...Let's talk a bit about it, okay?
1. Are you excited for Christmas to come? I am always excited about Christmas, even though we celebrated with our family during Thanksgiving. … it was our turn, so we have no gifts to unwrap, no fancy food to prepare, and with my bursitis, I can’t see me inviting friends in for munchies, But as I am typing, we are sitting in our cosy den listening to Andy Williams sing It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and I have to agree. I enjoy my memories of growing up, and long ago family gatherings. I can see the laden table at Grannie’s and the punch bowl all fluffy with Grandma’s Boiled Custard with nutmeg! I love the carols and Luke’s Christmas Story as we sit by the fire and enjoy the lights in the room. Christmas is so rich with every blessing imaginable!
2. What do you look forward to on Christmas? I look forward to going to the Candle lighting ceremony at the Christmas Eve Service. Hopefully , I will be able to make a small batch of my Christmas sconces, my sausage / egg casserole, and a bit of cranberry fruit salad. That is certainly all I need, to know we celebrated Christmas!
3. What will Christmas Eve find you doing?
Well, I suppose I should have waited til I read all the questions. But I will add, we love to leave our church service and drive around a bit enjoying the Christmas lights. We didn’t put up our tree this year, but we are quite festive here, too.
4. What will be on the menu for Christmas?
These are my Christmas scones plus think on an egg sausage casserole, and cranberry salad!I make a yummy creamy concoction to spread on these made simply of mascarpone and orange marmalade!
Your menu sounds so good. Do you want to share the Christmas scones recipe? I just got over a bout of bursitis. Now I am getting through an ear infection. But regardless, I am keeping the Christmas spirit. I am doing an Advent study on the Carols of Christmas. I plan to write about it on my Friday blog post. I hope you come and visit again. I added you to my blog list.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks amazing! The scones will be delicious.
ReplyDeleteMy gram used to host the whole family. Those are my best memories. And when the children were small and looked at the tree with those large open eyes.
Merry Christmas!
Your Christmas plans sound wonderful. I hope you have a great time. I loved your answers! Have a nice week. Merry Christmas! ♥

Your scones look delicious. I don't think I've ever had a scone before. You decorations are beautiful. We haven't had a tree for several years except for a small fiber optic one. This year we put up a 4 foot tree and I really love it. But I've also loved the years that we didn't have one. I think a home can be very festive with or without a tree!
ReplyDeleteQuite festive indeed. your home looks wonderful!!
