Spirit of Christmas in Prescott, Arizona

The spirit of Christmas has bitten me the day after Thanksgiving!

Yesterday we cooked and ate all day. I did a wonderful turkey and trimmings and my amazing mom brought her traditional golden brown apple pie. At 90, she still makes the best pie crust around.

With four generations together, my 90 year old mom loved chasing the newest great-grandson around the kitchen.

My dad, 89, did dog duty, and made sure Willie and Mandy didn’t feel left out. I am sure he probably slipped them a snack or two!

And after sharing an wonderful day together, I spent today cooking and starting on spreading Christmas Cheer! I made wonderful Gingerbread girls to send to my granddaughters! This is going to be an extra special year for Christmas. With the challenges of the economy, it is exciting to discover the fun and meaningful things we can do for each other when we search our hearts.

I am so excited to enjoy the spirit of Christmas already!
