good afternoon!
this week, i've been getting things ready for our Christmas! one of our 'traditions' here is to enjoy a quiet day together, just my cats and myself. this means that i get everything possible done ahead of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
for today's Question of the Day......
Do you have any Christmas (or New Years Eve/Day) traditions, special things that you do? (can be anything -- special meals or desserts, watching a particular movie(s), staying up extra late, etc)
i'll start!
yup, i just finished the last of things that needed doing today. so now my three cats and i are ready to enjoy a couple of quiet days together.
i've got their Christmas stockings filled, and their new cardboard scratchers unwrapped. i've got plenty of firewood moved, and meals planned and cooked.
and i was thinking today that it's become another of our Christmas traditions, that i bake something special for dessert -- something that i might not normally spend the time to make, and usually a new and interesting recipe! this year's dessert was made yesterday, a three-layer carob cake with mint carob chip buttercream.
how about you? what Christmas/New Year's traditions do you have?
