April 2023 Rudolph Day

Welcome to the April Rudolph Day post! I hope you enjoy the post.

Movies: 5 More Minutes- Hallmark, 2021. Inspired by the song 5 More Minutes. About Clara who wished she could have had more time with her grandfather.
A Christmas Love Story- Hallmark, 2019. Just as it’s titled, a Christmas love story, with a few surprising twists and turns along the way.

Book: Instead of suggesting one book here is a neat article about 35 Christmas books.

Magazine: Crafting Traditions, Nov/ Dec 1999.
Found this at the thrift shop!



Recipes: I’m always looking for new recipes for the holiday season. The allspice dram is especially intriguing.

April shopping tips: With Easter almost behind us, now is a great time for shopping for baskets and Easter grass/ filler on clearance. Basket fillers don’t have to be traditional holiday colors. Last year I used the recipients favorite colors (purple, lavender, and pinks) in my baskets. Some fancy ribbon and a small ornament in their color tied everything color wise together. They loved it.

Crafts: So many cute and inexpensive Christmas crafts out there. Here is just a few!

DIY~ Make Beautiful Ornaments W/ Christmas Cards! Easily Add Gold Foil!

Snow Globe Decorations

DIY Christmas Ornaments you Can Make Faster than a Melting Snowflake

Music: I remember my mom playing this. Always makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Christmas at the Fireside" Longines Symphonette. 1964

Hope you have a great Rudolph Day!

That Allspice Dram will be on my table this fall, for sure! And, I also noted the hot-link to Homemade Irish Cream within the text of that article. Stashing that one away for next St. Patrick's Day's celebration.

Her voice reminds me of Bob Ross, the painter for some reason.

I’m looking forward to making the allspice dram soon!

“Happy Rudolph Day”

I haven’t posted in a very long time but i do pop in and browse often

I listened to the Longines Symphonette and it bought back so many warm childhood memories, thank you Myron’s Mom for choosing that It’s one I will try and get on CD as I do like having them in the physical form.

i haven’t been able to find the movies suggested yet but I did watch The Picture of Christmas this week which was lovely.

I’m working today, public holiday here in Australia, the weather is wonderfully autumnal and wet which i love.

Have a wonderful day whatever you have planned
