Merry Christmas to all.....
We are heading into Christmas week
so it's time to slow down a bit and just enjoy
the spirit of the season, listen to beautiful music,
wrap the gifts and just relax and be grateful for another Christmas!
I did want to share my all time favorite cookie
that my Daddy made every year......
his beautiful and delicious Fruitcake cookies!

I made my fruitcake cookies today, too!! Yours are so much prettier than mine....and I am not surprised!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so beautiful! I love your Christmas dinnerware, table cloth and napkins! As for the cookies, they look like perfection! I am not a fruitcake lover but I will try these cookies because of your praise and recommendation. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe fruitcake cookies look sooooo good. I had my favorite Italian sweet bread, which tasted a lot like fruit cake this Christmas. The little ones on Santa's lap are precious. And I love those old winking Santa cups. They look vintage to me, so darling. Oh my, your Christmas cake is wonderful. I wish I had a piece to go with my coffee right now. ; )
