Blogmas 2023: 12/22

 Yesterday I shared what our 'Christmas Fudge' looked like shortly after being made, today I'm sharing what it looks like packaged up and ready to start delivering to our friends and neighbors ...

Hubby did the delivering and came home with ...

a fully cooked pork loin

a bottle of family made BBQ sauce 

candied pecans

and a chocolate pound cake

YUM!  YUM!

Why I do Blogmas: 
 
It's no secret that I love everything about Christmas!  From the day after Thanksgiving till the last box of Christmas decor is packed away and put back in storage for the next year, I love every bit of it!   My husband and I are senior citizens who generally spend the holiday season alone.  While we do have lots of very good friends and our church family nearby, all of our children live far, far away and have children of their own to make holiday memories with within their own homes.  They are very thoughtful to include us in as much as possible via technology and we are so grateful to them for going beyond the extra mile to include us.   

I started doing Blogmas because I had a choice, either lose myself in sorrow over what I could not change or embrace the love I have for the season and share it with others.   I chose to share my joy in the journey not only with my children and grandchildren long-distance, but with others who love the season as I do and who just might find themselves spending the holidays alone as well. I hope in some small way you get a glimpse of holiday joy through these Blogmas posts and that it spills over into your life this holiday season!

Meet you back here tomorrow!

    1. Linda, they are not paint cans. They are decorative tins from Hobby Lobby I got on clearance after Christmas in prior years..
