December Blog
It's December now and I am settled in to my Mammoth condo.We had snow last week and again today. Tim is here to help bringing me a new, larger TV and I have done my decorating and most of my cookies.
My trees are up (I call them Ikibana trees since they have no leaves and the branches are fake).
Some packages are wrapped and cookies have been made. My family favorites are Black Eyed Susans (peanut butter with chocolate chips), Holly Leaves (corn flakes with green, marshmallow topping and Egg Nog Spritz. It's so much fun and brightens the dark Mammoth nights.
Tim is up from LA this week for a short visit. It's a strange holiday this year with the Covid virus changing our usual traditions somewhat. My family is large enough that we try to carry on only minimal traditiions. Grandchildren are out of school. Keith and Gaven were up for Thanksgiving and Gavin did his homework on his computer communicating with his teacher on line doing his math assignment.
My spa has mini lights on small trees which are not only pretsty but are decorated with hand made snowflaked from my friend, Lynn in Arizona. She makes a new one every year to send.to her friends.
Rudolf is indoors this year but he has his red nose as always. My former Home Arts class made Rudolfs from fallen palm fronds when I was teaching middle school.
Merry Christmas and stay well to all my readers.
