It’s almost Christmas…

It’s almost Christmas…

Dec 23

It’s our favorite time of year …. CHRISTMAS!

Missy has been busy baking cookies today. Peanut Butter Blossoms, Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Chip, and my favorite … Molasses Cookies (click here for the recipe – Molasses Cookies Recipe ). The house just smells like Christmas.

The house is all decorated and we’re looking forward to having our families here to share the holiday with us. I can almost smell the ham cooking Wait… nope… that’s still fresh baked cookies I smell.  Man, I love Christmas!

I took the week off from my day job. Fixed the very noisy dishwasher, got some nutcracker repairs done, and made another snail nutcracker that will be for sale after the holidays.

Stay tuned for pictures of the house all decorated for the holiday (you may even see a nutcracker or two … or three…).

Also noteworthy (or should I say “nutworthy”… groan, yeah I went there), a Spokane Washington news channel did a great short segment on the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum. If you look close, directly to the left of the nutcracker Arlene explains is dated around 1500, you’ll see the piece I repaired for her a while ago ( click here – 1500’s Nutcracker Repair ). It’s great to see that piece being proudly displayed.

Click here to see the segment ( KHQ Nutcracker Museum/ Arlene Interview ). Be patient,  you’ll have to watch a commercial or two before the segment starts. It’s definitely worth the wait though.

Enjoy!
