Another Christmas In the Books

   So, Christmas 2022 is behind us already. In today's world, we seem to spend weeks or even months on a holiday before it happens. Then once it's over, it's time to move quickly onto the next one.

Me? I'm always falling behind. But here I am on New Year's Eve with my annual Christmas post. Better late than never.

   Christmas was a little different this year, but in a good way.   I had some good times baking cookies and making truffles for family and friends. I made some handmade gifts, and found meaningful gifts for everyone (at least I think I did).  I was happy the things I mailed out arrived on time.

     I received many nice gifts from family and friends. I even gifted myself a couple of old books I had as a child when I finally found them online.

   I planned on having rib roast, but instead made pot roast, with mashed potatoes and green beans. Simple but good.  For dessert we had pies my niece brought on Christmas Eve. Just a quiet day at home, but a good day nonetheless. 

     

      However you spent your Christmas, if you celebrate, I hope you had a delightful day, and season.

                                              Italian cookies, a Christmas favorite around here.

                                                           

                                                   We used my small pine cone tree this year.

                       Until next year, Merry Christmas!
