There are eighteen days left in the year and twelve days to Christmas. I’m looking forward to the holiday and don’t know why. I miss the Christmas Santa left me a bike and a bride doll. I miss being awake all night helping Santa. But that was then and this is now. It will be a quiet Christmas.

Christmas Eve I’ll make Cioppino Stew/Soup, although I learned you can order it on Amazon. Christmas morning I’ll bake my Christmas bread. The smell will hold pleasant memories.

But of course I’ll miss the snow.

. . . .just saying, another sunny day in Florida
