Time to Start Christmas!

Thanksgiving is over, 

the carcass is bare -

But we enjoyed turkey 

while it was there! 

Now the tree is up, 

Christmas socks on my feet,

but no cookies are baked... 

we decorate with sweets!

So this post will be short, 

and I'll be in the kitchen -

Gotta Christmas this place up

without any...

Oops! Family friendly blog! I'll leave you to fill in the blank, if you like...maybe Blitzen could help you out? I hear he's a whiz at Christmas rhymes and decorating. 🎄 

Is your tree up yet? I'd love to see a pic!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing all my friends a

I hope there's time for you to Knit in Good Health this weekend!

Not Quite Turkey Time

Where's your turkey? Mine is in the freezer, but I'll be moving it to the fridge for thawing well before I go to bed tonight. 

While I was checking on the turkey, I noticed that my butter stock is a little low... for this time of year anyway!

I'll use about two pounds on the Thanksgiving feast alone in just a few days. Butter goes in all the good stuff...on the bird, in the potatoes, stuffing and corn! It's especially good in the homemade rolls, and in my second batch of Christmas caramel! Yummm!

Second batch because we may put up the tree this weekend and decorate it on Turkey Day! We will need wrapped candies for that...and cookies too! I'd better take a break from this sweater and start baking! 

But before I go, here's a couple pictures of last weekend's party!

The boys had a blast, and so did we! 

My daughter and her hubby sure put on a great party! 

Now, for Thanksgiving, it's my turn! Tell me, what's your favorite holiday tradition?

Party Day!

Short post, because it's PARTY DAY! Party Caramel proves it...

Today is the day that we celebrate the newly-minted 3- year-old, 

and the nearly-minted 5- year-old!

Heck! Even the baby is excited for a party! 

There will be cake and chili and cookies and snacks, and many photos...but not before blog-time. So here's one last pic, some of the beauty of fall in Northeast Ohio! 

Now, I'm off to the party!

It's November, Yo!

No shade to my friends whose houses already look like this:

but, it's November, yo! November 4th, and my house looks like this:

That's not to say that I am not in the "Holiday Spirit." I mean, I did make Christmas caramel this morning. 

Of course, that's because it's been requested for the birthday party next week, and it needs time to cool and rest before we cut it up and wrap it. So, it is now cooling and resting, yay!

Since I was at it, with the Christmas caramel and all, I also managed a batch of cookies to pop into the freezer. I mean, it's November, yo! Any guesses what these will be, friends?

I also have a pot of chicken soup on the stove, and I am enjoying some holiday knitting (can't show you, because it's November, yo!), and so I might as well watch a Hallmark Christmas movie, right? I mean, it's November, yo! Also, I might have too much yarn, so I have to do some knitting!

Where are you on the holiday spectrum? Wherever you are, I'm glad you stopped by today!

Now, go see how much yarn YOU have, and Knit in Good Health!
