Christmas Quote

Good morning friends, the countdown is on, it’s just 6 days until Christmas Eve. The stockings are hung, the presents are wrapped, the meals are planned and now we wait for the miracle of Christmas. I have lots to share with you so grab your hot chocolate and settle in for a nice long read. 

Food

Bear Claw Pastries on a plate

I’ve been talking about these Bear Claws for weeks, so I thought I would share the recipe just in case you want to make some at Christmas too! I will be attempting these on Christmas Eve, I will let you know how they turn out. I made this overnight cinnamon roll bread last year and it is scrumptious!

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Buttercream icing

If you are looking for a last minute dessert, try these Gingerbread Cupcakes! 

Fleur de Sel Truffles

Do you like truffles? If so, these Fleur de Sel truffles are delicious and I think these   Coconut Truffles from Wild Wild Whisk would be as well. 

What are you having for Christmas dinner? We are having ham but after seeing this recipe for Brown Sugar Dijon Pork Loin I might change the menu. 

I am going to make this Christmas Sangria on Christmas Eve.

    Those gingerbread cupcakes look so good! As do the truffles. I'm finding this Christmas to be bittersweet when so many have died from Covid.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
