Hi Sunny,
What a peaceful serene day you described! I am glad you relaxed and did fun things. The Christmas lights sound pretty. We do not have our big tree up I have a little pink one on my vanity in my bedroom, I like too look at it its peaceful and calming.
I am going to try and bake cookies. I can cook or bake almost everything EXCEPT cookies it seems! I burn the bottoms and the tops do not get done? My husband likes those butter cookies, with the jam in the middle, and hazelnuts on around the top, I think you call them "Jam thumbprints", one day this month I am going to attempt to make them again, last year did not go so good and that was even before I started panicking badly, last December was alright for me, I got bad in January so I am hoping this Christmas is good for me and my family too. If I mess the cookies up I will buy some but I would like to bake them myself, someone told me too use parchment paper perhaps that will help, I have to decorate some more too.
You're wreath sounds awesome, our outside is decorated a lot my husband gets a thrill out of it, high electric bill but its very pretty, I am going to try to throw myself in the holidays and get in the spirit, I am saying my Christmas Novena too, I hope we all have a wonderful holiday, I miss the snow you are lucky I bet it is so beautiful, the falling snow and pretty lights. Its great too hear from you!
