Keeping up with my new “2020” tradition. It worked for my “solo” Thanksgiving, so I’m going for it again today!

I have two simple goals on my To-Do List for today…
1) Make a pie…. 2) Eat a pie.

Let the solo-holiday games begin!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE.
As I spend another socially-distant holiday by myself today, it is nice to reminisce and be thankful for the FAMILY you have surrounding you… whether in person or not. It’s been such a trying time for so many families this year… and I am SO THANKFUL for the “family” I have surrounding & supporting me.

Happy Holidays to all of you… my “online family”!
I hope you all stay safe, healthy & happy through this socially-distant holiday season… and that 2021 becomes much better that 2020!!!

With a weird 2020 socially-distant Christmas upon us…
I know we all have the same sentiments.

What I want for Christmas is a little bit of “normal” back…
but all I REALLY want is to spend time with YOU!!!… in person, without a mask!!! Looking forward to 2021…

Bah Humbug!… as I go to bed on this Christmas Eve.
Looking forward to a socially-distant & safe Christmas
as I ZOOM with my family to celebrate tomorrow.

Don’t be a SCROOGE… make the best of it. It’s still CHRISTMAS!!!
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings…
when friends come to call (even on ZOOM)…
It’s the hap-happiest season of all !!!

Getting a little headstart…
mixing it together to get a jump on tomorrow’s pie making project!

It’s my first time making handmade pie crust from a new recipe!
It’s looking good so far… I’m pretty excited.
Going to refrigerate overnight before I start rolling it out.

Jolly St. Nick & his reindeer are on their way!
All masked up for a socially-distant Christmas… be sure you’re staying safe & healthy too! We don’t want any unexpected “health issues” under the tree this year! Wrap your presents with gift wrap, but wrap your face with a mask!!!

Tonight’s the night… and Santa Claus is comin’ to town!!! So why not celebrate with some sweet treats and a little Christmas Caroling?! Feel free to sing-along… ahhh, remember road-trips back when you could still drive in the car with friends???

Not to ruin the surprise… but Santa’s coming tonight. And I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to be in his big red bag for many of you!!!

So I ran out quick to the studio this afternoon, and on my way back I “just happened” to pass LICKITY SPLIT near my house! I noticed they were open this afternoon, but closed tomorrow!

Knowing that I will be “celebrating” the holidays at home alone… I splurged and bought myself a little treat for tomorrow! We’re drawing near the end of “Flavor of the Month” eggnog frozen custard… which is needed for my all-time favorite Eggnog Snap!!! Eggnog custard, caramel sauce & gingersnap cookies blended together!

Okay, panic set in… and I “may have” bought more than one…
allegedly... I mean, it’s going to be a long Winter’s night, right?!

Doing a little holiday baking today… just finished a batch of double-chocolate brownies to share at all of my festive holiday get-togethers!

Oh wait… there are none as we’re abiding by “the rules” and staying safe & socially-distanced. Guess I need to eat all of these by myself?… oh shucks!!!
