At Home With Mary Louise
Joy to the World! A Very
Merry Christmastime
It’s my special time of
the tear again … “Christmas Time.” Shopping, hanging lights,
family time and baking, baking and more baking. I absolutely
love baking, preparing desserts and setting my dining room
table.
I simply enjoy making my
home beautiful with Christmas trees in every room, candy
dishes, fruit bowls, lovely center pieces … and baking,
baking, baking!
This year I’m doing
something different. I’m bringing my grandchildren in on the
cooking festivities. This will be so much fun since Kendall
and Tre adore Grandma May May’s cooking.
Baby Kendall loves to lick
the cake bowl. She doesn’t know what flavor cake she is
enjoying, she just knows that it is sweet.
Grandson Tre loves Grandma
May May’s baked chocolate chip cookies with a nice cold cup
of milk.
When planning for the
holiday season remember to make family first because that’s
what the season is all about … sharing, giving, spending
quality time with the ones you love.
Meanwhile keep in mind,
we’re in a pandemic – limit your guest list, maintain social
distancing, fear your face mask as often as possible …
Oh my goodness, you should
see the smile on my grandkids faces when the big hot
chocolate chip cookies come out of the oven. “Scrumpdiddlyumptious,”
if I must say so myself!! Then the M & M candies placed in
the dough are “yummy to the tummy,” says three-year old Tre!
Getting ready for Old St. Nick is a big deal in our home! We
will be placing the cookies by the fireplace so that Santa
can have a treat on his way out.
We leave a note for Santa
also “please share the cookies with the Reindeer, especially
Rudolph, because he has to guide the sleigh tonight!”
It truly is the most
wonderful time of the year!
