Cute Christmas bread using red and green cherries. I am quite sure the green ones are not natural and probably not very good for us by today's standards. We have a bread machine here at the North Pole, but I have never used it.

No they are made in a gross manner. They use vinegar & chemicals to bleach out the red color. Then they dye them green. Once I learned that fact I quit using them at Christmas.

Ewww. I don't want any in my Christmas stocking.

Merry Friday Christmas! I forgot to pick up the Christmas mp3 so I watched the beginning of The Thanksgiving House on the way to work. Such a great movie!

MERRY FRIDAY CHRISTMAS !!

It's a very early pre-dawn morning for me. It actually is quiet outside & the house hums with the sound of sleeping loved ones. A beautiful quiet time to spend in gratitude to God. Wishing all my Christmas friends a blessed Friday.

Just realized it was Friday the 13th. Hope all my Christmas friends are having a great day! I am not really a superstitious person, what I fear most is others who might use the day to do mischief. Love your computer art as usual, Noel.

For some Friday the 13th listening fun!

Happy Friday! The weather guessers say we have a big rain coming. 3-5 inches next week. I've been busy trying to rake and clean up my yard. My outside Christmas decorations will be limited this year. Our 2 pups are still in their chewing stage. I don't have the heart to keep them penned all the time, and I really don't want to see my beautiful decorations destroyed. I replaced my Fall door wreaths with Christmas ones. That'll have to do for now.

CC Just love how you put the pups welfare above your Christmas outdoor decor. Now that's the Christmas spirit!

Prayers for Paris!



Leaving for work with a heavy heart...tears....Prayers. As we prepare for Christmas let us remember those wounded; traumatized & grieving in Paris.

I am not sure which saddens me more. The events or the hyperly secular french on my feed who simply say they do not want prayers because they are a secular nation. To my simple mind, that is an equally outrageous theology as the one they fight against. Wishing everyone Christmas Peace today.

That saddens my Christmas heart Jolly. We pray for them anyway. Not because of who they are, but because of who He is.
