Christmas ornaments...

...are pretty this year. 

That's a christmas fairy my good friend Tricia sent to me this year.  She also sent a big THING of the most awesome homemade fudge ever.   It's simply delicious!

Another Christmas fairy...

She carries a yellow lily and is made of porcelain and paper...a gift to Charlotte from some relative. 

You can see the tree is full of so many things; a hodgepodge of handmade ornaments, gifts, candy, ribbons, streamers, beads...I like an interesting tree.  Another frasier fir this year.  I love them 'cause they smell just wonderful and the needles don't hurt.

We are still full of snow but a short thaw is coming.  No fear of all of it going away though...we have a definite snow surplus this Christmas.

I hope you are all safely wherever you need to be this year, and ready to enjoy the season.  Merry Krippits!

Krippits sound like something to eat.

Looks like your weather is a few weeks behind ours...we had a fair thaw a week or two ago and it went down maybe half a foot...but that really didn't clear things up :) (It was plus ten! Geez, that should not be happening in mid December, it was freaky. Especially when there was already SO MUCH snow on the ground.)

We're supposed to get more tonight. Lots more. This seems to be the year of never ending snow. I know we had that huge storm last year that dropped two feet in a couple of hours, but this year it's constant. I'm afraid by March we may not be able to see out our windows or open our doors.

I'll be gettin' out my flamethrower...

heh..."Merry Krippits" is something I used to say when I was really little, & for some reason the whole family thought it was cute so we all say it. Nothing like baby-talk 43 years after the fact to keep you humble. ;-)

We are having one messy winter this year. You always get more snow than I do but it sounds like it started really early for you this year. Hopefully we'll both have a mild spring to make up for it. I am still able to handle snowstorms in December, but late February storms make me want to cry.

Hey, you...don't forget to send me one of your dad's recipes to see if I can translate it. :)

If you can make it a recipe you remember the taste/smell/etc of, that'd be best of all...then you can try it after I translate it and see if, in addition to making sense, it makes the recipe you remember. I'm pretty sure I won't have that much trouble with French, but there ARE some pretty odd words to describe cooking techniques...especially if the recipes are fancy.
