Made a large batch of chicken sausage patties for the freezer the other day. They turned out quite well. The Penzey's seasoning was not in the recipe but it was a great touch.

take a cup of kindess, yet
“For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."
TS Eliot
Here's to beginning again. May your new year be blessed.

On Christmas Day in the Morning
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
~Norman Vincent Peale
Santa tracker
They've been keeping a very close eye on Santa's progress and just discovered he has reached the Netherlands. Abbie Rose came running downstairs to say she saw a red light in the sky. It was decided that was most likely Rudolph and small people had best hurry to bed. So off we go. : )
"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."
~Laura Ingalls Wilder
Wishing you a wondrous, magical Christmas.
