Wasn't it Thanksgiving yesterday? No? Can't be December, can it? Already? Hmmm
Just a handful of shopping (crafting) days until Christmas now. We have a weather forcast for this Thursday (or so) that has a possibility of snow. It's probably crazy talk, but on can hope! I still have lots of sewing I want to get done, and I need to take my serger in for a tune-up. Worst possible moment, of course, but I can't complain about it really. It is such a work horse, and I use it ALL THE TIME.
We're going to have a Christmas Eve potluck. It was a tradition that my folks started, inviting everyone to bring their favorite dish and celebrate for a while on Christmas Eve. They kind of had the open house thing going, and people would come and go. We always had a great time, and a wonderful, eclectic variety of food. I asked Raine what she wanted to make for her favorite food, and she didn't even have to think very long or hard about it. Chicken noodle soup. I think we can do that. Me? I'm still thinking about what I want to make. I may break out the short bread and grannie's oatmeal cookie recipes. hmmm or....
Deciding to have the potluck has really put me in the Christmas mood, but I also find there are people I would love to invite, who won't - for various very logical and obvious reasons - be able to come. Still, Christmas is for remembering them, too...
If you are in my neighborhood, friends, come by on Christmas Eve. Bring a dish, or just your well wishes. Be welcomed. Be loved. Be Merry and Bright. We all need some of each.
