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!

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.
