ngeapk.blogspot.com - Since most of this week will be spent trying to finish up the baking and decorating before the Annual Christmas Potluck on Friday, here are some pictures of yesterday's progress ...

| Peanut Brittle cooking ... |

| ... and cooling. |
The Lace Cookies were a total flop. They ended up in the garbage. No pictures. Pffft.
A little more Christmas decorating was completed. There is still a bit more to be done before Friday ...
 |
| Fresh holly added to the cupboard above the sink, since a lot of time is spent staring at this shelf while doing dishes.... |
The piano was decorated with a bell garland and gold paper snowflakes. The vintage sheet music has a nice Christmas feel and will be displayed on the piano until the snow melts - unless the youngest comes home; then it's replaced by Stairway to Heaven. Below is a closeup, in case you'd like to make a copy - it is quite pretty.

Franny's Gothidays 2012 continues until December 8th and the insomniac, for one, would like to say, “Franny, this was the best idea ever! It's been so enjoyable reading about everyone's holiday rituals. Please promise to do it again next year!”
Until next time, the insomniac wishes you nights of blissful sleep filled with pleasant dreams. Goodnight, my pretties.
