We are just a few days before Christmas and all through our house Christmas is glinting and chiming and sparkling, and making me merry. I hope you can say the same.
I am an absolute stickler for not opening ANY present early, I love staring at the pile of presents under the tree in happy anticipation. However, I received a gift this week that wasn’t wrapped (plastic wrap doesn’t count!), and needed to be enjoyed ahead of time, and I want to share it with you (visually only, it’s too good to share gastronomically with too many people…sorry, not sorry!)
My friend Branda is thoughtful, creative, and fun, and a terrific cook. Gather those traits together and the result this year is a detailed gingerbread fifth wheel trailer complete with wheels and tail-lights, a set of (cinnamon) bears roasting marshmallows over an open fire, a bench, and extra logs. It’s truly a wonderful accomplishment in totally yummy, edible art and a gift of smiles and love.
Have a merry Christmas week, everyone. Take moments to give and receive the fun and joy of this special week right alongside the renewed understanding of the blessings we have because Jesus was born!
