Christmas is the best time of the YEAR!
It is so much fun to have a few days off from school and to relax and get to do a few things that I don't normally do. Cooking is my favorite pastime. I love this adventure of finding yummy things for the holidays that taste great.
Gathering together with my family is a big tradition. My mom's family is large. She is the middle child of 14 siblings. So Christmas gatherings were centered around family and food. There are all kinds of yummy foods that this holiday brings. Some of those items are Chicken and Dressing, Spaghetti and Cheese, Transparent Pie, Hostess Cupcake, Chex Mix, etc. When we gather together there are usually over 100+ people. My grandmother and grandfather are long gone but the sweet memories of our traditions are kept close to my heart.
Now we gather in smaller groups with our immediate family but it is always a fun time of great fellowship, playing games and great food. My challenge this year will be to watch the number of carbs I am eating. This weight loss process is going great and I do not want to blow what I have done. (Lost 25 pounds since August!)
More recipes have been places on my pages. Check them out. I hope you love them too!
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Most of all I am so thankful for Christ Jesus who was born. May you enjoy celebrating His birth this season. His path came to the cradle so that He would die on the cross for you and for me. There is no greater gift than that.
And Merry Christmas to you! Hope you have a blessed and wonderful time with your family.
