Oh, how I love this time of year! The lights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes...I love it all! Cups of hot cocoa with sticky, melted marshmallows dripping down the sides. Candles in the windows and colored lights softly twinkling on the tree. Pans of cookies and fudge and peanut brittle and truffles. Did I mention I love the tastes? Yesterday Daddy and the kids spent the afternoon building "gingerbread" houses out of graham crackers. What a mess! The boys thought it was great fun, Daddy groused about "whose brilliant idea was it to use frosting for glue?", and the youngest girls ended up in tears because their "stupid" houses wouldn't stay up. Another great memory making moment brought to you from Mom! The idea was to keep them all (from Daddy on down) out of my hair while I spent the day baking and making candy while lending my breathtaking vocal counterparts to Johnny Mathis and Steven Curtis Chapman, and it worked!

What I would give to be singing harmony with you at that time....and leave the baking to you. Merry Christmas from the Georgia cousins. Loved reading the stories about blessing your neighbors.
