Merry Christmas to all you grand, grand people ......

When everything out there seems dismal and forlorn, when the world is too much with me and I can't find a bagel dog anywhere, when the mustards in the fridge are all wrong, when I am stricken with salad fatigue, when I am seriously contemplating a lifetime of Swanson Frozen Pot Pies, when I see a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey and it confuses and scares me, when even contemplation of the woodchipper doesn't cheer me..........

There is this amazing group of people who never - NEVER - fail to engage, delight, enthrall, amuse, and enlighten.

On this day that means so much to you, Old Yeller and I wish you all the Merriest, Most Delicious Christmas ever.



You are simply wonderful. Thank you for the gifts you give me every day.

Oh, and The Pussycat said, "Here's to you, Cooking and Baking Group! BURP!"

And a very merry Christmas to you and your family as well. :)

I recently discovered this group and it's a lot of fun.

Happy whatever day!

From the Sparkly Family .......
