Merry Christmas Eve

 

It's Christmas Eve, and the spirited anticipation is building to a tangible level here.  My Chocolate Cherry Truffles are packed in pretty tin boxes, nestled between layers of parchment paper, ready to share with family and friends this evening.  I have Cookie Jar Gingersnaps baking in the oven and the house smells like fresh pine boughs and sweet holiday spice.  Traditional, old fashioned date bars will go in next, destined to be the star of our dessert table tonight.

I want to take this time to tell you all Thank You from the bottom of my heart.  Peanut Butter, Passports and Epinephrine has grown and blossomed this year, and it's all thanks to you.  Your kind comments and thoughtful insights mean so much to me!  I only hope I'm able to return the favour by providing inspiration, tasty recipes, and most importantly, a place of peace and tranquility in the buzzing and chaotic world of cyberspace.

So it's with much gratitude that I wish you all the magic that Christmas can bring.  From my family to yours ~ Merry Christmas!

Christmas–that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance–a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
