A few other Christmas decorations...
We added the ornaments we had made of our cats over the years to our critter tree. If you enlarge it, you can see some of them better...
and these are two of our ceramic cats sporting Santa hats! (I forgot about them on my last post)
And then there's our Christmas Elf that sits on our grandfather clock year round... (you may have seen him before)
The tree is still a work in progress... but should be done sometime this week.

And I started baking Christmas goodies today. So far I have the rum cakes, Christmas almond tea cakes, and home-made nutty granola done. Tomorrow will be chocolate nut brittle and bourbon whiskey balls. If time permits I will add espresso delights and chocolate pecan tassies.
These I send out to the kids and a few friends and neighbors. My mother-in-law always sent us a box of her home-made Christmas goodies every year (we loved it!) - and after she passed, I decided to keep up the tradition.

And also DH is in the process of making
my well loved
red beans and rice!
He is making it today (Sunday) although we will have it today and tomorrow. Monday is the traditional day in New Orleans to cook and eat red beans. If you google why Monday is red beans day here: Monday's Red Beans, it will explain. You can almost always find it on the restaurant menus on Monday and probably on the table in many households - even today.
Guess I will close for today.
I however, have to show you something
I bought for me for Christmas.
It reminded me so much of our beloved black and white cats
that we lost at the beginning of this pandemic
that I had to have it to put under the tree.
(and he purrs...)
