One of my adult daughters came by last night and commented that many of her co-workers wanted to take “Christmas Class” next year. They envision a class, taught by Roxanne and I, where we will share every taste, treat and tradition of the season. They asked if it might be taught in September so they would have plenty of time to get ready for the holidays.
They were dreaming, but what a fun class it would be– yet let me share a secret. The Electrified Cooks really don’t have a corner on all things Christmas—we just love it. Every part of the season is something to embrace and cherish. From the decorating and first candle of Advent, through the wrapping and baking, to the final toast of the season—it is all magical and it is packed with love. Each activity can become a favorite family tradition.
When planning a recipe to share today, my mind was filled with all things Christmas. Should it be gingerbread cookies, or that great glaze for the ham, or candy or what? Then I realized that you, like me, plan and dream in the fall—then crazy days of last-minute scrambling take over. There is just not time to add another new recipe to the plate. So next year maybe we will teach that Christmas class and we will certainly share more holiday recipes here, in our blog, but for now, let’s just share the magic and love of the season.
Most of all, let us take this time to share the warmest of wishes to each and every one of you. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have you stop by and hope you will come often. We love to share our favorite recipes with you and always have a story or tip to share. We are always eager to learn what you cooked or would be happy to answer your cooking questions.
We are blessed to be the best of friends and are thankful to include you in our circle of friendship.
