For my area, a decent last Saturday before Christmas. I do have to dart out to the grocery store for a couple of small things I missed, but other than that, I can – and happily – avoid the crowded stores full of last minute shoppers. Whew! Wish I’d been smart enough not to miss any recipe ingredients but hey…no biggie. Should take me only a few minutes to take care of my needs. It does look as if Christmas day is going to be snowy and very cold. Oh well…can’t have it all. I think we all need to appreciate this day because looking at the national weather map others sure don’t have it this smooth today.
