Christmas This Year.

 This year it is just Pop and I for Xmas.  I haven't been doing much in the way of sewing or crafting.  Really I am not in the Xmas spirit.  We put the tree up cause that is what Pop wanted.














I made my usually Cookies and Fudge and I tried Egg Nog for the first time.  It was ok.  It has to much nutmeg in it for me.


  Oatmeal Raisin   - no salt added
Chocolate Chip   - no salt added





 Fudge

Xmas is low key this year.  I am missing my mom and how xmas used to be.  I have been told you can't keep thinking on the past, my mind wanders back to how much fun and family the holiday Season was when I was younger.  It was always busy and abuzz with cooking and planning and family.  And there was always the family dysfunction.  Sometimes I even miss the arguments and strife.  I guess my Momma was the reason for the Season, without her it is hard to have the Holidays just for 2.

I will try for my Pop.  Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year.
