Although I may tweak it, I am happy to have a festive house to enjoy for a month or a little more. <br /><br />Your plate of treats is so pretty, and I'll bet it is yummy too! I am amazed at your November raspberries!

The church was decorated on Sunday which usually happens on the first Sunday of Advent so I was surprised. I checked though and that is the Dec 1st. I will dig out my Ann Voskamp book The Greatest Gift and read through it in December. The baking looks delicious. Have a great week.

We are blessed with a real fireplace, and sitting near it to watch the never-ending dance of flames is one of my favorite things to do in winter. We will be making Christmas cake later this week, and it will add to my already growing Christmas spirit. This week is calm in terms of activities outside of the house, but the pace will pick up as December commences. So, we have set aside this week for baking and decorating. I am loving it! Thanks for adding such lovely shots to Mosaic Monday!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490533253436208034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-54719096239640194162018-11-26T16:11:46.736-08:002018-11-26T16:11:46.736-08:00Raspberries in November - oh my goodness!

I am slowly working through my list of Christmas preparations but no decorations will go up until next month and we'll decorate our tree on the day of the winter solstice. To tell the truth, I'm a bit tired of Christmas and would like to do something different this year - but I think my family would be horrified! So, as usual, I'll make sure everyone else has the kind of Christmas they want and I'll silently dream of other things. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-46030102480558056822018-11-26T14:54:02.218-08:002018-11-26T14:54:02.218-08:00I love love love holiday cookies.
