Today is the third Sunday in Advent; "joy" is the candle lit today; as we prepare for Christmas we observe, with
joy, what is to come. How do you express this joy? Baking is in full swing at Chez Goodneedle. Never before have I purchased
10 lbs. of sugar or
a pint of vanilla at the same time! Let the cookie baking begin, in earnest, as we prepare... with
joy!
Life is Good!

just don't get carried away and start sipping the vanilla...could have disastrous results....LOL
I've had a difficult time feeling joyful during the Christmas season since my DH's passing 3 yrs. ago. Don't think it'll ever be what it once was. I'm just usually eager for it to hurry up and be done. Even though no cookie baking is occuring here, I did buy 3 big bottles of vanilla when I was in Mexico earlier in the year. I shared and kept some for myself!
Lighting of the Advent candles is one of my favorite parts of Christmas.
Is that the aroma of your cookies baking that I can smell? It is lovely! : )
