I am truly blessed.
My sister, Kaz, made several batches of cookies with at least an inch of frosting (you can never have enough frosting), candy coated pretzels (my fav= peanut butter) and best of all, Mom’s homemade onion bread for dinner tomorrow. Darlin, we’re not talking add 2 eggs and water to a box mix or to a bread machine. We’re talking sifting flour, yeast (she talks to the “yeasties”, it’s suppose to help—honest) serious kneading (this is where she lets out all the aggression of the year) and molasses kind of baking. And it’s all absolutely ambrosia.
Speaking of inches, we have 28 of them of snow, so there is no doubt whatsoever we’ll have a White Christmas. Yes, believe it or not, there have been some brown Christmases here in Minnesota, but definitely not this year. Yes, you can have enough snow already, enough to cause a mini melt down and winter's just getting started??!!. Wait, this is supposed to be about blessings— okay, ignore the snow—how about I'm still able to work part time and we got Christmas bonuses again this year, which is always a huge blessing in this economy.
Tomorrow we go to Mom’s for Christmas and see some of those relies (aka relatives) and that’s always fun. Naturally, I will need a nap before we go, but I should be okay the rest of the day. We’ll go to Dad’s next weekend and that’s always fun, too.
I don’t know... I suppose I should have written something more sentimental or wise and witty about Christmas, but sometimes the simple things really are good in life. And I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas--God bless us everyone!

(No snow, relies or bonuses were harmed during the production of this post, however serious harm has been done to the cookies and pretzels as they are just about totally devoured... Wait, what? We were suppose to save some to bring tomorrow? Oops...)
