Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Eve. I wish everybody the best and the happiest.

It's Friday and I'm working on the Gift Baskets. And delivery.

Mr. Hawthorne jumped right in there and helped.

I believe there were 24 baskets here. I'd already mailed out 5.

And Giada likes her new frock.

Ready to deliver.

Merry Christmas to you!

Brine the turkey.

Add about a cup of sugar.

And a cup of salt.

Water to cover.

Pineapple casserole. I'll give you the recipe later. And it's totally worth the wait. Recipe from Dear Maxine.

Double smoked ham.

Thanks, Mar, for the ornament.

Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas! I love you all.
