It's begining to look a lot like Christmas...




Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold,
everything is softer and more beautiful.
~Norman Vincent Peale

Santa's treats are just about ready to come out of the oven... I think he'll just go wild over our eggnog pound cake and we created some decadent fudge brownies with hidden pieces of Junior Mints and After Eight Mints melted over the top, spread thin with a spatula to create a thin chocolate mint layer. These brownies are super decadently rich and a perfect treat for Santa before Mrs. Claus puts him on a diet tomorrow! I need to remember the reindeer's snacks before it's too late...


There's a fire burning brightly... We're watching Elf and there's a glass of Pinot Noir to my left. Daddy is off picking up the pizza that the children will be allowed to eat in front of the fire tonight and they'll unwrap one present each, their Christmas pajamas...


Usually we have much left to do. This year we can kick up our feet and relax.


I wish you all a wonderful and Merry Christmas Eve!
