A special Christmas treat

Christmas Treats

 Now isn't this something special?  I almost made haystacks and when I went to the family Christmas my brother brought haystacks.


Haystacks

Haystacks are incredibly simple but puttsy.  Ingredients are a bag of large marshmallows, a bag of caramels, a small box of Rice Crispies. Melt the caramels according to the instructions on the bag. Put some Rice Crispies in a large bowl. Remove the caramels from the heat, roll marshmallows through the melted caramel and through the Rice Crispies.  Next time you want a Rice Crispy bar, try making these.


Time to tease Natalie

 Rolling through photos of years past for Natalie, most of the ones I had taken of her and her husband were sitting in front of plates of food.  So I couldn't resist taking a picture of her cuddling a plate of cookies.  Truth be told, she was placing them on the dessert/munchies table.


Good conversation around the table

 The best part of Christmas is catching up with relatives that we rarely see.  We chat around the dinner table.  None of us eat as much as we used to eat.


Between multiple rooms...

 Then we move to the wide open kitchen, dining room, living room, and family room.  No gifts are exchanged we have gathered here on Christmas day only to spend a wonderful day with family.  After all, that is the most special Christmas treat!


...the conversation continues.

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
