A few neighbors are stopping in. Some early, some late. That’s just right.
I’ll add a few more characters to the tree before our
visitors get here. Gotta fill in those
gaps. The Geezer has Christmas music on
everywhere, and I am singing along.
Smells of simmering wassail fill the house as I wish you all
a very Merry Christmas.
Grandma Maudie’s Wassail
1 Big bottle of Cider
3 sticks of Cinnamon
I good sized orange
Small jar of cloves
Before breakfast, pour the cider into a deep pan. Heat to just past simmer and turn down
low. Add the cinnamon sticks, and slice
the orange. Stick one clove in each
orange segment. Simmer very slowly all
day. Serves 6 to 10. Double cider and orange slices for up to 20
guests.
Your words and photos tickle the senses with lovely Christmas sights, sounds and aromas. Blessings to you. You are a blessing to others.
