I can’t believe you beat us in getting the first snowfall! Congratulations! You can have the rest of ours too if you wish.

Last year we were (finally) able to skip the tree. (I’d been lobbying for it for years, but Madman couldn’t part with the idea.)
But this year the grandkids are coming up, so we’ll have to have a tree. (Yay for the grandkids!)
Cookie baking is about to commence.

With all that baking, it’s definitely going to feel like Christmas at your house, regardless of whether you have a tree! I am determined to make my grandma’s cookies this year. Last year was the first year I didn’t make them since I had my own home, and it just wasn’t right.

I’m glad you’re back to blogging more! The fruitcake sounds very successful. I usually don’t bake much for the holidays and haven’t started thinking about it. But I can’t wait to get the tree up – I have collected the ornaments over the years and really love seeing them for a few weeks. It’s been so gloomy this week that I’m thinking of putting up some strands of lights in my office. Ric and I don’t do the presents for each other much either, just a small thing for each of us. I’ve been knitting some small gifts for other family members. (Guess I should get my own blog, huh?)

ACK!! Do not mention the C word yet! I still have no idea what to get Texas.
