Hiya Reader,

💖A LIGHT HEARTED NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

I hope this brings HARMONY to all your elements.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

At this time of the year, if all through the house, not a creature, is stirring, not even a mouse; please call an exterminator.

Mice are extremely dirty and carry scary diseases, even when they are not stirring. If you hang stockings by the chimney, even hung with care, in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there, this is dangerous as the stockings are flammable and can catch fire, either get yourself an electric log or increase your home fire insurance. If you actually hope that St Nicholas will soon be there. That's really wrong on two levels, first you are delusional. You need to seek professional help. Second, you're hoping for a home invasion.

If your children are nestled, all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums dance in their heads. Please, I'm begging you have your children drug tested. This is not a "vision" of sugar plums, this is a drug-induced hallucination. If you go to bed in a kerchief or a cap and settle down for a long winter’s nap, dressed like that, there will be no more children for you.

Please try shopping at Victoria's Secrets or Good Devil Mens Wear. If out on your lawn, there arises such a clatter that you spring from the bed to see what is the matter.

Away to the window, you fly like a flash, to tear open the shutters and throw up the sash. If in front of your wondering, eyes should appear, a miniature sleigh with eight tiny reindeers, you see Saint Nick with his eyes as they twinkled, his dimples, how merry, his nose like a cherry, you really need to check yourself before you wreck yourself!

Think back what you have consumed and drank before you went to bed that night. Did you go to the dispensary? Have you been drinking way too much eggnog or holiday punch?

Are you taking the whole pill that your psychologist prescribed, or are you cutting your pills in half again to try to save money?

These are important questions to ask yourself before you call 911 to report a man in a sled pulled by tiny raindeers has just landed in your yard or on your roof.

Believe me when I tell you this if there are no tiny reindeers, no sled or a fat man dressed in red. The nice police officers will take you from your home. There will be an investigation and perhaps a 72-hour Psych hold.

Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night...

🪩FUN HOLIDAY GAME FOR EVERYONE TO INCREASE PROSPERITY

For your gatherings, this is a great one. We did this last year at Christmas.

​

📷Let go for the perfect picture

🕍Some popular holiday recipes from The Blender Girl website.

SOUPS: For holiday soups, my show-stopper is the Thai Pumpkin Soup. You can also make this recipe with orange-flesh sweet potatoes.

SIDES: I will often volunteer to bring a side dish. Number #1 is always the Lemon Garlic Green Beans with Almonds. and the Scalloped Potatoes. Nobody will ever know there is not dairy in them!

SALADS: The Caesar Salad and Orange Quinoa Salad are big winners.

DESSERT: First choice is always the Damp Lemon Almond Cake. Then, Cranberry Lemon Cheesecake or Chocolate Orange Cake. I do NOT like to spend hours in the kitchen making desserts, and all three of these can be made in less than 30 minutes hands-on time.

SWEET TREATS: Hands down, I always take are the Maple Cinnamon Pecans. Why? Because they are crazy-amazing and taste just like "regular treats", but because they are SUPER EASY and keep in sealed containers for weeks. So, I double and triple batch the recipe and can take the same thing to several different parties. (Yep, let's work smarter not harder.)

In Service and Solidarity,
