Hello friends - I hope you are doing well this Christmas season!

After (numerous) promptings from our youngest daughter to get Christmas going a bit earlier than normal around here, we have been enjoying the Christmas decorations and baking for nearly a month already. And from what we've seen in our area, it seems that many people had the same idea this year. We saw so many trees lit up inside houses, way earlier than normal. 2020 has been quite the year...I'm all for bringing on all the joy we can muster!

We'll be baking again this weekend. How about you?! With this newsletter I'm sharing recipes perfect for this holiday season. Enjoy!

Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas!
Brenda
