Christmas Show:

Rick Steve's European Christmas - this one hour program is so wonderful, I watch it on Christmas Day every year. The host shows the different types of celebrations that take place in many European countries.

Christmas Book: https://debbiemacomber.com/?s=a+ferry+merry+christmas

Nothing beats a Debbie Macomber Christmas book! This one is from 2025 and it was terrific!

Christmas Craft: Dried Orange & Cranberry Garland: https://fittyfoodlicious.com/recipe...ange-and-cranberry-garland-old-fashioned-diy/

I made this garland last Christmas and hung it in my kitchen. It was really easy to make and looked very festive.

A co-worker brought these Caramel Popcorn Twists to work and I couldn't figure out what they were made from. They were delicious!

Thanks Mel, can't wait to sit down and take time to browse through this

 

[Miss JoDee]

Thanks, Mel, for hosting. It looks like lots of fun I never watched any of the Rick Steves' shows. Now, I am wondering what I am missing.

 

[Lana]

Mel, nice ideals! Can't wait to explore in depth!

 

[GrammaDeb]

Thank you for the RudyDay ideas! I checked out the book and look forward to checking out everything else!

 

[GrammaDeb]

I read the book “A Ferry Merry Christmas.” It was really good, I liked the characters and enjoyed the plot. Thank you for the recommendation.

 

[jampss]

I just finished listening to the book last night! It was great!

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

I've read the book, it was great.

Thank you for these great links. That caramel popcorn twist recipe sounds devine! And who can't resist a Debbie Macomber book, especially if it involves Christmas. Can't wait to delve into these more as the month progresses.
