I am sorry you ...Hi Missy and thank you very much! I am sorry you are so stressed but you have four beautiful kids I am very envious of! I still get stressed and mine are grown up. It's just that I think if you are a good mum you are always going to get stressed!<br /><br />Wish you were near me with your cookies! My weight is zooming again - through stress eating!<br /><br />I adore Christmas, but with 60 people coming on Sunday, I haven't even decorated anywhere yet! Help!<br /><br />The scones are very easy. You don't have to put olives in if you don't like them.<br /><br />We will stay in touch via email! I am here if you should want to have a moan and the coffee (tea) is always here, and something stronger should you wish. Tell Balu I will cut him a big slice of Devil's Food Cake I just made!<br /><br />Hugs<br />AmiAmi Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-66600411390978927262013-12-17T07:02:23.677-08:002013-12-17T07:02:23.677-08:00Hey Es May!

If we did, I'd probably not be a fan of cards like yours.

Sometimes I don't bother with them. I don't mind them in a recipe but I don't like them on their own. Dan loves them especially stuffed with garlic. Nah, that's not much work; once it's made you just keep topping it up!<br /><br />I know. I love small children around at Christmas time. I think Christmas is for them more than for adults. There is even a Santa hotline with an address for them to send their Christmas letters to. Before computers we used to get the kids to post their letters up the chimney!<br /><br />Hugs and blessings to you too, Cat!<br /><br />AmiAmi Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-19007154126482669382013-12-15T08:55:37.318-08:002013-12-15T08:55:37.318-08:00I love the smell of Christmas in the house.

These days I seem to get harassed very easily!<br /><br />I could do with some of your heat around the end of January, beginning of February when I am fed up with all the endless cold and wet! I can't even begin to imagine 70 F at this time of year - but I am willing to try it out!<br /><br />There seem to be several people around Chicago this Christmas (she muttered darkly to herself!) Just think how beautiful it will look with all the snow and sparkle! Dan has a cousin who lives in Chicago. I shall have to wangle a visit as it's somewhere I have never been. Sigh. Never been to Arizona either...... <br /><br />I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas!<br /><br />Hugs<br />AmiAmi Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-90323110116277747532013-12-15T08:41:37.366-08:002013-12-15T08:41:37.366-08:00You may not say that if you saw me a week from now...You may not say that if you saw me a week from now, Sunny!

Sigh. <br /><br />They have plenty in Scotland, but not down where we are. We are still benefiting from the anti-cyclone with sunny days and frosty nights. But no where near as frosty as you - we get warmed by having the sea all around us! (You are making me jealous though, just in case you wondered!)<br /><br />Oh I love glitter! The more the better! Did I tell you I got some lush glittery skin moisturiser that I put on at night? So funny! But I can't discuss that here....<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too!

I am very jealous. The snag with having a married daughter is that she decorates her own house. Then she brings her kids over to you for the afternoon, stays to tea, leaves bedlam in her wake, and goes home leaving you ragged and in need of a double, no, make that a triple, gin! LOL!<br /><br />If I lived anywhere near I would cater only too happily. I have nearly sixty people to cater for next Sunday and I have a great deal of baking to do this week! Just buffet food, and only savoury to go with the mulled cider.<br /><br />Hugs<br />AmiAmi Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-49418507990587851262013-12-15T08:31:10.209-08:002013-12-15T08:31:10.209-08:00Don't even mention Christmas prep!
