Merry Christmas dear friends!

I want to wish my dear friends a very Merry Christmas filled with sweet blessings and love.
I miss those that are not with me, we will always remember them.

My daughter and I made Christmas cookies today, that we will share with friends.
I wish I could give you one of them, as they are yummy!



I would never have thought when I first started my blog that I would meet so many beautiful friends from all around the world. Thank you for the kindness, the love you share and the comments you leave. I look forward to coming to visit you soon.
I hope this festive season is a happy time and wish you much love, joy and peace.

Hugs
Carolyn

  8. Hi Carolyn,
    Your friendship is the true meaning of what Christmas is all about and we are blessed in blogland to know you.

    Your cookies look just scrumptous and what memories made with your daughter baking together. Your home is filled with the holiday spirit. I know you miss your loved ones this year and I can so relate in that regard, but they live on in our memories and what we learned from them is ours to pass on to all.

    Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and many blessings in the new year.
    See you in 2011.
    Your friend from Texas,
    Love to you, Celestina Marie

  31. Bonjour Carolyn,

    I have got to stop in to wish you at least a Happy New Year now; I have seen your name all around blogland and it is high time I come to greet you. You have a marvelous blog, and I must join.

    Have a wonderous holiday season with those who remain, whom you love and make the memories for the little ones. I too no longer have my parents or even my beloved auntie and uncle who always cooked and made the magic....but life continues and it is good.

    BONNE ANNÉE! Anita

  57. Dear Carolyn, what an amazing Christmas you had!:-)I have stopped to wish you wonderful and prosperous Happy New Year! Let every wish you have in your heart become true with a stroke of a midnight. :-))) Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment in my Blog and so sorry I could not visit you sooner: my Christmas was very eventful. :-))) Starting form very unexpected wonderful house guests to snow storm accompanied by electrical loss and spending Christmas Eve in ER being treated for infection which I got hours earlier from being bitten by a very sick kitten whom we wanted to rescue. Hoping your Holiday Season is filled with wonderful friends, laughter, gifts, family and everything good.:-)
