It’s the seventh day of Christmas

 

2016 is nearly over. Tomorrow we’ll start a new year, and the Mummers will be parading through Philadelphia again.

On this sixth day of Christmas

…it wasn’t all that cold. Well, not if you believed the thermometer. But then there was the cold, cold wind…the kind of wind that makes you feel like you have ice cubes on the sides of your head instead of ears. Santa would have been comfy, though.

On the fifth day of Christmas…

…well, all right, most people get their cookie baking done before Christmas Day. But even those of us who almost never bake cookies tend to make a few, at least, at this time of year.

Wordless Fourth Day of Christmas

 

Merry Third Day of Christmas

Have a piece of nut cake!

(Back during the Great Depression, my Grandma Heisey baked this as a Christmas treat for her six children, her husband, herself, and a varying number of hired hands. It’s still good.)

On the second day of Christmas

…okay, it needs to come down soon, but for now it’s still pretty.

Merry Christmas to All
