Tonight we heard Natalie Cole singing it on a recording -- last week we heard her in concert but she didn't include it among the several Christmasy songs she sang. There is something so historic and holistic about it, like the last line that lists random elements that somehow add up to a Christmas feeling.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-3813583212307195642010-12-17T20:38:02.507-07:002010-12-17T20:38:02.507-07:00Boy, cookies don't get much simpler than that,...Boy, cookies don't get much simpler than that, do they? It sounds like Hazel Peach has been spending lots of time with her Grandma -- she's sweet, just like her! ;-) And isn't the sun amazing? Or rather our orientation with the sun? The other day, I was just noticing how low in the sky it is now, compared to the summer. And you're right, the light now is just beautiful!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-41376378554210865782010-12-17T15:03:42.385-07:002010-12-17T15:03:42.385-07:00I've always wanted to make those Reese cookies...I've always wanted to make those Reese cookies!

Won't she be a good big sister!<br /><br />Love the pretty coasters! And I have not had those kind of cookies in YEARS! Yum! PB& choco is my favorite combo of all. I bet yours are way better with homemade dough. I almost bought sugar cookie dough for a recipe the other day but after touching that plastic tube I thought, "Nahhh." I'll be making this at home and I put it back.<br /><br />Wishing you much Christmas joy and love,<br />LeslieLeslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-14013145217068891162010-12-17T06:14:40.180-07:002010-12-17T06:14:40.180-07:00Beautiful, simple joys Jody.

She's a dear, dear heart, isn't she?<br />I've had those cookies with chocolate chip cookie dough (from the grocery!) and they were good, too. <br />I love your coasters. I agree with you, pulling thread is soothing. You are so talented, Jody.<br />Today is my last day of school until the new year.

It didn't bother me because I was glad she knew the story of the manager; that is more important. This year I bought her a childlike set from Walmart for her to play with.<br /><br />Someone at work brought a batch of these peanut butter cookies to work this week. Never had them before, but they are out of this world good!Mary @ Neat and Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160435782347545564noreply@blogger.com
