so WHAT is wrong with me..... I don't feel very much like Christmas..... hmmm... I don't feel sad about it, I just would well, rather not do it at all..... sorry, Jesus.. it is not personal...
the tree is up, the lights are shining beautifully, the angel that Ash made when she was 4 (still in perfect condition I must say) graces the high front like she does every year, and a new ball from my dear friend in South Georgia hangs center front declaring Merry Christmas y'all! (I love it Sherry!) I just don't feel like Christmas....
maybe in a few days I will... I am going to bake some cookies for the 26th (when we celebrate this year) and put the bows on the beautifully wrapped boxes.... maybe that will do it... maybe the Christmas Concert this Sunday night will knock me in to Christmas mode... hmmm.... odd for a person who used to put a tree in just about every room of the house! (yes, even the bathroom) There has been alot going on.. maybe that is it... I love Jesus and see Christmas as his birthday party even though I know December really is not His birthday...
ok well enough of that... good night to all and to all a good night~~(that will have to do for now, haha)

Oven Lovin Saturday
thank you Tiny Gardner for starting Oven Lovin Saturday to help get us all through the winter!
my recipe for this week is: Grama Wiricks Date Pinwheel Cookies (I know sounds sick, but really yummy - and I hate dates)
Filling:
1 lb dates cut fine (really fine on a chopping block)
2/3 c water
1/2 c sugar
Boil together until dates are very tender, set aside
Dough:
2C brown sugar
3 farm fresh eggs (or store ones are ok too)
1/2 c shortening
1/2 cup unsalted butter (real butter)
Cream together well
Add:
4c flour
1 t soda
1/2 t salt
Stir in well
Directions:
Roll out cough in a rectangle and spread evenly with the date mixture. Roll up like a jelly roll.
Chill overnight
Slice and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until slightly brown
Everyone will love them if you dont tell them there are dates in there!
