Hello, hello--hello!

I'm writing this blog a couple of days early because Sunday, my normal blogging day, is Christmas Day, a much deserved holiday for one and all, so I'm writing this blog now to get it out of the way for the holidays.

With the big day only two days away now, I'm sure you are all now counting down the hours until the big guy with all the goods comes to town, and I'm sure you've all played Santa's little helper and have gotten all your gifts by now, as well as your Christmas Eve and Christmas dinners as well.  As for myself and my family, we all can't wait for that chicken and sausage gumbo and the roast turkey, baked ham, and oyster dressing we're going to have on the respective Christmas Eve and Christmas nights.

The December month is a special holiday month for one and all.  With the Hanukkah celebrations of our Jewish friends, the Kwanza festivities of those of African descent, and the winter solstice commemorations of others in the world, as well as the big day of Christ's birth, December is a time to spend with everyone's family and friends.  No wonder everyone of every faith, creed, and color wishes one and all, "Happy Holidays."  For, it is a happy holiday for one and all. 

And, everyone has their special way of eating at this particular time.  Potato pancakes topped with apple sauce, monkey bread and gumbo, turkey, ham, stuffing, and all the wonderful deserts such as sugar cookies, gingerbread, teacakes, and the ever popular pumpkin and sweet potato pies, December is indeed a wonderful month for celebrations, and for seasoned eatings, with family and friends alike.

Well, that's all the time we have for this week.  Until next time, be well, stay well, remember to help the disaster survivors, and, happy holidays to all, and to all, a good night.

Warm wishes to all,




Marley Sue
