How do you spell Christmas? I love to make orange rolls at Christmastime, to share and as a small selfish indulgence too! What-I haven't eaten lunch yet-oh well, let's just have rolls for lunch. I made two batches today which pretty much took up the larger portion of my day, but I figured why not since all the stuff was out and dirtied anyway. We made lots of plates and added some almond brittle-another guilty holiday pleasure-it's good it's only once a year! We took them around to friends and neighbors after school with the girls. All day I'd imagined all of us heading out in the van, Christmas music playing and everyone in great spirits as we gave rather than received. Sometimes I think my memory gets away from me, in reality things are not always so idyllic! Does that happen to anyone else?! The girls were bickering about who had gotten to take more plates to the doors, and getting back into the van climbing over one another seemed to be an issue. Oh well, it was fun, for me anyway, I like to share them. And, I think I've had my fill, enough to last me until next year!
