I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far! Do you have snow where you are? Nothing here….and very strange!
Thank you for your kind words about my Grandpa in my last post. My family appreciates it so much. We had a great visit with him on Friday and he seems to be doing a bit better than he was earlier in the week. When I asked him how he was doing, he looked at me with a smile and said, “I’m on the mend!” and he was joking with the nurse and very much himself. He hasn’t had much of an appetite, but he loved the Nutcracker cookies I made him. That made me happy.
I ended up baking a couple more batches and giving them as gifts to family this weekend. Eric was not happy to see all the cookies go to another home…
Well, I think it’s time to open some gifts. My niece and nephew have been up since 4:30am, so we’re pretty much torturing them with the wait.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Angela. =) Hope you have a fabulous day!
Food is love, isn’t it? Even when we feel helpless in certain situations, knowing that we can bring some comfort and joy–even if it’s just in the form of cookies–helps get us through!
I’m in Michigan and it’s a green Christmas, the first in a few years. Oh well.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas lady! I’m so happy your grandpa seems to be on the mend <3 what a lovely gift.
Merry Christmas Angela! I have been reading your blog and making your recipes for a year now and I thoroughly enjoy your sense of humor and your food philosophy! Thank you so much and continued success in 2012….very excited to purchase your first cookbook….:):)
Thank you Carol!
Merry Christmas Angela :) have a relaxing day filled with good (vegan) food and friends! Glad to hear your Grandpa is doing better and I hope he continues to do so :)
Merry Christmas Angela! I’ve been enjoying your blog!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Merry Christmas Angela :)
Glad your Grandpa is doing better. :) No snow here either. We don’t usually get much snow in my part of Oregon. But it was downright Fall-like yesterday. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
No snow here in St. Louis, either! And yes, it’s weird.
So glad to hear your Grandpa has his sense of humor and spirit. I’m pulling for him, Ange. He really reminds me of my late grandfather – funny, kind, and wise.
We need kind souls like your Grandpa to stay in our world as long as they can!
I truly hope you have a Merry Christmas! I’m glad to hear your Grandpa is on the mend. Lol. I’m in Chicago with no snow either! Kinda weird!!
It’s all green here in Milan too! Merry Christmas Ange. I hope you, Eric, and all of your visitors have a wonderful day celebrating together! :)
Merry Christmas to you & your family, Angela!
I’d be sad if I was Eric seeing all those cookies going to another home, too. hah!
Hope the kiddos enjoyed present opening. Nothing like “sleeping in”…tll 430am. Whoa. :)
As a mom, I can relate to the Xmas morning insomnia stuff.
So glad your grandpa is doing better. We don’t have any snow in Boston, but I did see a few snowflakes this morning! It lasted all of two minutes, but it made me happy. As long as it doesn’t accumulate too much, I like it. :)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! No snow here either!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! Enjoy the day and eat some yummy food. No snow here but that’s cuz I live in Australia….It’s very different having a warm christmas…You definitely can’t eat as much when it’s hot!
May you have a wonderful and delicious Christmas! ;)
Thanks everyone! :)
