The tastes of Christmas…our favourites

I’m still waking up VERY early in the morning.

It’s so quiet and peaceful and no one around except for the two or three deer that are walking down the street. Yes, I live in town but it doesn’t stop these creatures from coming out of the woods and going for a little stroll down the street when everyone should be sleeping.

A good fix for jet leg tiredness during the day is keeping busy. So this week, yesterday and today ( finishing up) I am making some Christmas goodies. Not too many this year but some of our favourites…

Peppermint patties

Peanut Butter Balls

White Chocolate Candy Cane Bark

Gumdrop Nougat

Cranberry/Orange Bars

Lemon Loaf

Whipped Shortbreads

Cracker Candy

There are a few more things I’ll do like our Christmas Eve Yule Log, Cranberry Steamed Pudding and maybe a cheese cake or two , and some brownies. But that’s something for next week.

Yum! Everything looks so delicious and my home smells wonderful…like Christmas!
