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 !!!
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!!!
