Welcome to April’s Rudolph Day picks! How did it get to be April already? The months are flying by.
Movie: Naughty or Nice, 2012 by Hallmark.
Krissy Kringle finds Santa’s Naughty or Nice book in her mail.
Book: The Christmases We Used to Know.
By Reminisce books. 1996 Reiman Publications
This a book that someone here had posted about last year. I put it on my Christmas list and my husband got it for me. A lovely book about Christmases past. A collection of short stories, some that might bring tears to your eyes.
Recipe: https://www.cooks.com/recipe/df79x4g5/rocky-road-fudge.html
This is my go to fudge recipe for Christmas. I originally found it in a magazine when I was first married in 1980. I pretty much make as is except I use Zane currents instead of raisins. I also mix the nuts, marshmallows and currents in instead of layering. Works best with a high quality chocolate. The addition of palm oil by many chocolate manufactures today is not good for fudge making.

Pinterest: My Pinterest search was unusual gifts to make for Christmas. That lead me all over the internet and finally to these sites.

Dotted Christmas Ornaments - Dotted Ornaments with a Classic Pearl Lace Design
Yes, I love ornaments, what can I say. How hard can this be???
FASTEST LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS TREE NAPKINS!
Jordan Fabrics how to videos are great. These easy to make napkins would be a perfect last minute gift to make. If you have a interest in quilting check out their other videos.
Magazine: Any Family Circle or Woman’s Day magazine, December edition from the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s. So much fun paging through those old holiday magazines. It’s interesting to see the decorating and craft trends. The recipes I think are more likely to use ingredients that we have on hand.
Music:
Christmas music, I get lost in it. Back to a more simple, less complicated time. Away from all the problems and stress of today. So I bring you another family favorite growing up. Brings back so many memories.
Enjoy your Rudolph Day!
