It really is the Season of joy and happiness. I love this time of year because it's when you start to make tons of goodies to give to neighbor and friends. Adam and I started last year by making bread for our neighbors(because we were poor newly weds, and we still are poor), and each of them love Adam's bread. So there was no way we were going to get out of NOT making the bread this year. Over the weekend our bananas looked about right and we make 6 lofts of banana nut bread. We also make 2 batches of home make caramels! I love making them, I got the recipe from my wonderful Grandma Dixon. It's one you do in the microwave, but it taste just as good as any other recipe you do on the stove with out the mess of it.
Another thing I love about this time of year is putting up the Christmas tree and wrapping presents...Yes I did say I love wrapping presents. I loved it before I got married and would wrap presents for my mom. Then I got married and Adam wanted to get REAL ribbon to put on the presents. I tell you what, it makes the presents look that much better. I love making the presents look pretty.
Don't get me wrong I know Christmas isn't about the gift and that. I know we need to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Next week in Nursery we get to teach the children about the true meaning of Christmas and tell them the story of the nativity. I can't wait, I just hope that they are in a good mood that day and are not running around driving me nuts.
Merry Christmas to you all!
