Judy Garland singing to Margaret O'Brien in Meet Me in St. Louis... a holiday favorite along with Mel Torme crooning about chestnuts roasting on an open fire. For Christmas movies, top on my list is Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck.
My kitchen has been filled with the scent of gingerbread. I found a wonderful, easy, recipe online for gingerbread baked in a square tin. I had all the ingredients in my pantry and in less than an hour a pan of gingerbread was out of the oven, cooling on a rack. It was SO good, I made a second batch yesterday. My favorite holiday treat is peppermint stick ice cream. When the local grocery stores stopped bringing it in each year, I started making my own in a Cuisinart ice cream maker I bought for myself a few years ago at a Black Friday sale. Happy Christmas to me.
What wonderful things are you doing for yourself this holiday season?
However you celebrate, may it give you joy; and may your new year be filled with peace and prosperity.
