Feste Felici!

Only five more days to Christmas…I can’t believe it. When am I going to finish my shopping and baking. One thing that was good about being home sick, was the opportunity to make up for lost time watching holiday special and movies this year….made me feel like a kid again. I watched Prancer last night…what a great movie!

I think I’ll put my honey to work baking for me when he arrives tomorrow night. I have my favorite Cream Cheese Cutout Cookies that everyone loves. I have made them for over 20 years. I used to also make chocolate covered cheeries….but I have no time. I need the Christmas Elves to help……where are they all when you need them?

Well Don will be home tomorrow! I think we will be staying in Bangor overnight, as we both have holiday shopping to finish and I don’t want to go on the weekend. Christmas Eve day has always been my favorite day of the year. Cooking, baking, visiting my friends and family and delivering their gifts…..ahhhhhhh those memories. This year I’ll make new ones with my niece Amy and my great niece Emma. I can’t wait for Emma to open her gifts and see all the “Dora” related items, including a toddler bed she is getting.

I wish all of my family could be together this year including my step children Laura, Christina, and Aaron, as well as my new grandson Liam. I hope they all have a happy holiday season. Laura is far away in Japan working this year, so she won’t be home, I hope she is safe and has a great time whatever she does for the holiday. Ciao for now!
