Christmas celebrations are just beginning for all our family and friends who follow the Julian Calendar, and are awaiting Christmas Eve holiday on January 6th, and Christmas Day on January 7th.
Christmas holiday is followed by New Year celebration on January 14th.
The hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping is over for most of us (many Ukrainians will still celebrate Christmas on January 6th and 7th), so now it’s time to plan the New Year bash.
I have been bitten by the crocheting bug, and have been crocheting scarfs and hats for my grandchildren.
It all started when we could not find an appropriate hat for my grandson’s Halloween costume (he was a Minion), so I crochet one for him, and the rest is history…
With the cold weather upon us, we begin to crave comfort foods and hot soups.
Thanksgiving turkey is all gone by now, but I still have my homemade soup stock (frozen) from the turkey carcass which I cooked last Friday.
We all have our own way of measuring our success, and counting our blessings.
As for me, I feel very fortunate to have wonderful children, and now adorable grandchildren.
