It would have been done sooner but I had to restring an 8ft snowman and his little buddy. The house was finished yesterday. I have a little white Christmas tree in the front living room and a nice big real one in the back living room. There are 18 fruitcakes wrapped in Capt Morgan’s and homemade gingerbread cookie dough in the freezer. I’ve got peppermint pinwheel dough in the fridge firming up so I can roll it out to make the pinwheels. That will get stashed in the freezer too. When it’s time to bake them there will be very little clean up.
I LOVE Christmas!!!
