Its Christmas! After weeks of preparing for the most celebrated time of the year, its finally here. Christmas is 2 days away and I know that everyone is in full gear with their preparations -- cooking, baking and gift giving.

I will be busy with my baking marathon today. Im waiting for Patrick to finish up with work so that we can do the grocery shopping for the get together on Saturday and Sunday with his family.

We have a simple get together on Saturday and Im bringing blueberry muffins for that. On Sunday, we have the big Christmas feast with Patrick's family again and Im in charge of the pumpkin pie and the dessert platter as well as salad. I wanted to help Ruth prepare for the feast and since Im the only daughter-in-law who will be around, I offered to prepare some of the food needed for the feast.

Anyway, all the gifts are wrapped, all the cards have been sent, the packages shipped and so from our home to yours, we wish you and your loved ones a very very Merry Christmas!
