TWAS 12 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS......

Twas 12 days before Christmas and all through the house...

Not a light was hung....

so I looked at my spouse....

What have you done...

while I've been working all day....

Was it HGTV or do you have something to say?

"My Sunday was spent working as well

helped our dear Sydney ...her project was hell

Went to the office... did computer repair...

just rushed right home to see you...dear"

We pulled it together and got out the lights

Only half of them worked....(will be one of those nights)...

Jumped in the car ..to Target we go...

To battle the crowds ....my energy was low...

We got lucky this time and they had what we needed....

Things weren't all that bad... I finally conceded...

We got home and went straight to work...

Hubby hung all the lights (I shouldn't have called him a jerk)...

Our Christmas is bright the lights are aglow..

Thrilled to have one more chore completed...I am sure you all know....

Now I'll relax.....it is a beautiful sight....

SO MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT!!!

Anticipation

December....wow that came quick. Craziest month of the year...so much to do.... house must be Christmatized, cookies to bake, lists to make, gifts to buy and mail, cards to send...yes, I promise they will make it to the mailbox this year ...and still can't forget work, pay bills and keep the family engine running....As much work as December tends to be there is something magical about pulling the boxes of Christmas treasures out of the attic, each box containing carefully wrapped glass santas and priceless family heirlooms created by little hands for Christmases gone by...each ornament, picture, Santa plate and wreath has it's own story and they all come together to create the backdrop of our family Christmas..


Here's a great recipe to try as you color your Christmas this month....it is so tasty, easy to make and is one of my favorite soup recipes.

Enjoy!

Kielbasa Bean Soup

2 medium potatos peeled and diced
4 carrots sliced
2 medium onions chopped
2/3 cups chopped celery
6 cups water
16 oz Keilbasa thinly sliced
2 10 oz cans of Campbells Bean with Bacon Soup


In a large saucepan or dutch oven bring vegetables and water to boiling; reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add kielbasa and bean soup. Heat thoroughly! YUMMY!!


Happy Christmatizing!!!!
