Merry Christmas in a year to beat them all! It’s time for my annual posting of the Christmas Eve breakfast — luckily, some things stay the same. I’m so glad I’ve kept this tradition, as I can look back and see the sort of Christmas we’ve had. This year things are pretty quiet and low key — I only made 3 different types of Christmas cookies. Sugar Cookies, Angel Slices and Grandma Hill’s Browned Butter Cookies always make the cut — it wouldn’t be Christmas without them. I thought maybe this was the year that I’d made the least number of cookies, but I’d forgotten about the year that it was just MeMum and Me. That year, the Browned Butter Cookies were replaced with caramels. I’m definitely missing the caramels this year — maybe I’ll make them for New Year’s. ;-D
I didn’t really make any gifts for Christmas this year, so I haven’t had the crazy late nights trying to finish projects, like I have some years. I was knitting sweaters for FinallyAGirl and FinallyAnotherGirl but I ran out of yarn with 1/2 of a sleeve to go on FinallyAGirl’s sweater, so I lost steam. I bought the yarn in Iceland and I’m having trouble getting more of it. I hope she’s not grown by the time more yarn arrives.
So, that’s the jist this year. Low and Slow. I hope you have a Wonderful Christmas — and that you’ve been able to preserve some of your traditions even if your Christmas looks a little different this year. And if you’re still sewing (or will be after the kids go to bed) I hope Santa brings you time to finish your projects!
XOXO,
Anna
I can’t believe that I’m the first to comment! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a happy anniversary and that 2021 bears very little resemblance to 2020… though ours is currently shaping up to be even worse, Covid-wise, so far… Sigh.
What a brutal year. So glad you and your family are healthy. Ours is, too but it breaks my heart to see all the suffering and the loss of life. Science denial has killed a lot of innocent people. So sad. :(
Merry Christmas!! Glad you had time to make some special treats. We did get to pizzelles and chocolate stars, and that’s all I need. But maybe one more batch. ;)
