Joy.


We are posting our favorite Christmas song for Pink Saturday.  I love all of Mariah's Christmas songs but chose this one for its upbeat tempo.  Seems we joyfully celebrate over gifts, decor and parties but tone it down a bit when it comes to Jesus.  He came to earth for one purpose- to give us eternal life.  Now that's real JOY! 

I love to turn on Christmas music while I'm baking. It puts me in the mood. Here's a time saving recipe for peanut butter cookies.
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut  butter
1 egg
Mix in order. Bake at 350 for 7 minutes.
So far I've managed to bake these and traditional choc chip.  We're making a little progress.  More baking to go!
Don't forget the milk.

Santa will thank you!


 And it wouldn't be Pink Saturday without a Pink Christmas...
Better Home and Gardens
I just want the chandy.



Joy to the world!

Tammy, thank you for stopping by my site. I am so glad you did, first because it was so nice to read your sweet comments and second because somehow I got off your list of friends. Sometimes I think blogger has it out for me but I added myself again and now I can catch up on all your Christmas doings.

I love the idea of a hot coco bar. And you made the arrangement so cute.

Wow, the baby in swaddling clothes is precious. Music just makes me happy. Baking too. The peanut butter recipe doesn't have butter? Interesting. Love your photos.
