Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday today despite all of the challenges. ‘Tis the season to be extra-creative with how you celebrate with family & friends… without being able to be “with” anyone today! I know I’ll be celebrating solo again today, yet “celebrating” with my family via ZOOM with trivia games & a gift exchange later this afternoon!
And here it is – fresh out of the oven!
My new 2020 “solo-holiday” tradition continues! Make a pie. Eat a pie! Should be cooled down just in time for my family ZOOM Christmas get-together. Too bad I can’t share… and I’ll just “rudely” be eating in front of them!!!
Oh well, more for me… HA!!!
Added the top layer of crust and a few decorative touches! Making it all very festive for my new “solo-holiday” tradition! Ready to go into the oven…
It’s all in… my Christmas pie is all coming together nicely!!!
Things are cooking in the kitchen…
starting to smell really festive in here!
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 !!!
