Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays...and whatever you celebrate!

Our tree this year...a little tilted, but unless I want to de-ornament some of the breakables to tilt it correctly..(not!) Sorry no time to do any close ups on my ornaments, some of my favorites aren't on the tree anyways...just one of those, do less years!
I do love the tree rug we got this year. Since our floors were re-done, we used to put the tree in a metal washtub so it wouldn't leak on the floor when DD was watering it! LLBean came out with a cool waterhog mat similar that is no longer on the site, but it is perfect! No more wet floors!
Ok, to make you fudge lovers drool...I am 2 for 2 in the peanut butter department. Last week it crumbled, then 1 successful batch...until the other nite, still too soft, but finally made a perfect batch today..(do not double recipe again, sometimes it works, sometimes not!)
So I'm baking away, about to finally wrap presents and hopefully finish a pair of ankle socks..doubt it, but maybe by tomorrow evening they'll be done!
Poor hubby has been to the store 3 times for various things I thought were on the list, but weren't. I think we're about done with that for now!
Off I go! Take care everyone!

Lovely tree. And peanut butter fudge! Yum! There's something about the combination of peanut butter and chocolate that's simply meant to be.

right back at you!

Melt 1 can evaparated milk & 1 pkg chocolare chips stir until well blended ass 1 tsp vanilla, pour into greased pan, refrigerate and you'll always have perfectly rich fudge! ;o))

Merry Christmas! I am also doing one of those "do less" years as far as decorating goes.

Beautiful tree! I bet your peanut butter fudge even the chocolate walnut one is so good:) I have not been able to knit on anything yet until after Jan 1 since hubby's whole family will be here.
