I hope you’re all enjoying Christmas (or Saturday, if you don’t celebrate Christmas) with those that you love, doing whatever it is you love doing. I came down with a cold the second I came home from work, spent a day being miserable on the couch, and then felt better the next day. I credit Emergen-C, Naked Green Superfood drinks, lots of hot tea, and this weird, awful tasting tincture I bought last year that’s supposed to get rid of colds quickly. That, and lots of TLC and tea-fetching from Travis.
The point is, I got over this cold really fast, just in time for Christmas Eve filets and steamed crab. And now I can make gingerbread men and sugar cookies. And I’ll be festive to host our gift exchange with friends, complete with prime rib.
This year, Travis and I bought each other a new flat screen tv and home theater setup. And then he bought me a new cookbook and a thermometer that doesn’t read 135F at room temperature. Yay! I bought him a new cookbook on smoked meats, some coffee, and then stuck a clementine in his stocking. The dogs got chocolate covered bacon (really, carob-covered Beggin’ Strips) and canned good. The kitties got their own can of kitten food, some ‘nip, and some snuggles.
From our fur-covered home to yours (probably much less fur-covered), Merry Christmas! I hope Santa was good to you!

Merry Christmas to you, Travis and the whole animal brood! Glad you’re feeling better! And yay on the thermometer!
Merry Christmas, Leanne, Travis and kids! Glad you were feelign better to enjoy Christmas.
And what’s gonna happen to your old TV? Can we have it? Can you bring it up with you?
I don’t think our old tv would fit in our car. Travis has it in the garage right now, for when he’s brewing or cleaning kegs. Do you want a new tv?
