Ready? Queue hysterical laughter. I will leave out a little cake for him though. I hope your Christmas Eve, your Christmas and the year(s) to come are all marvellous.
Elephant's Child; I thought I heard laughter from the East :) My Christmas Day will be very quiet, just me and Lola. I spent today with my niece her partner and her young son who is six.
Santa won't be calling by here (he's misplaced my address, too, I think)...so I've just eaten a couple of slices of cake, instead. I don't want it to go staile. Should I feel guilty? Naaaaah! :)
I had a few Liquorice Allsorts this afternoon, too...still didn't feel guilty!
Merry Christmas, River...stay cool...stay calm. And a giant Merry Christmas to Lola. :)
P.S., as I learned you are practically "German": My Mum had the goose in the oven for hours (yes, a waste of electricity!), she poured sugared water over it once in a while (why ever), no fat at all, it dripped in a pan underneath. YUM. In your summer I somehow am not really willing to send a chocolate-Henry over to you. But in your winter maybe? If you like leave your address at flaviakaiser@gmx.de. No worries if not!
I am trying to remember what the skulls represent. Is it All Saints Day? It's funny to see from here since we are all candy canes and snowflakes. Oh...I can't remember. But I think it is very thin, yet colorful, people who did not eat enough Christmas cookies. Don't be like them!
Sandi; the skulls represent the Day of the Dead, usually celebrated in Mexico I think, but not at Christmas. I just really liked the colourful cake. Merry Christmas.
Well you got him early and my what a spread the bearded fellow got. Maybe if I left more than Kale Chips I'd do better:)) Enjoy your Christmas and a blessed 2020.
messymimi; i'm usually ready for it to be over before it even begins, I get the same jittery tension that I always got whenever mum announced a visit. Still it's something we get through, those who enjoy and those who pretend. I enjoyed it a lot more when the kids were little.
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Starting this week with a "wish" who remembers cupping one of these in the palm of your hand, making a wish and then blowing it away? If it flew up and away your wish was supposed to come true. I dug around in the pot where I had planted pieces of a sprouting potato and came up with these tiny morsels, the coffee mug is for size reference. Did I already show this recently? I bought a couple of "Heirloom" tomatoes fo...

Charlotte's colour of the month for May is Gold : The colour of sunshine, daffodils, little yellow dandelions before they become puffballs, baby chicken and ducklings too are golden . the pan is prepared, the ingredients are measured and ready, look at those gloriously golden egg yolks, and the golden butter, let's mix and bake just out of the oven, a golden lemon ricotta cake time to take off the paper, and see it ...
Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun. ššš Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator. Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to. Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?

DeleteMerry Christmas, River.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; Merry Christmas to you and R also.
DeleteI left carrots for his Reindeers
ReplyDeletepeppylady (Dora); I'm sure they will appreciate them. Merry Christmas.
DeleteMerry Christmas! Santa is out of luck. I'm too tired to make another Oreo cake.
ReplyDeleteVal; don't be too concerned, I'm sure Santa gets plenty of cookies and cake at other homes.

Lee; Christmas and guilt should never go together. I love licorice allsorts, but usually eat too many at once.
DeleteGot some chocolate here for him, hope that counts, too ;-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you!
Oh, and Vanilla-milk.

Arkansas Patti; Kale chips??? Yikes, that's not at all Christmassy.
DeleteMaybe next year leave a little dip with the chips.
Merry Christmas.
As ready as i can ever be. Merry Christmas Eve!
