You have probably heard the news but all the evacuation orders in Santa Barbara were lifted Thursday before Christmas so my parents were able to spend Christmas in the home they have lived in these past 57 years. The tree was decorated, the Christmas lights strung, the trifle made and we had a joyous Christmas Celebration. Wishing everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year!Claudia Bughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893132997720328084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-15695485464893161412017-12-26T18:15:48.164-08:002017-12-26T18:15:48.164-08:00That hat is perfect!

Exactly the kind of cookie that I would like to add to my holiday baking list. <br />Prayers for your parents home. These wildfires have given so many heavy hearts this year and have been devastating. Sending much love and positive thoughts to you and your family. <br />A day late but Merry Christmas love. my sisters knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035497420534805706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-33656656887012930092017-12-19T15:28:20.977-08:002017-12-19T15:28:20.977-08:00haha I love that quote Chloe!

I'm heading home on Thursday to help them readjust and to get Christmas back on track. I told them I would bring How the Grinch Stole Christmas (my dad loves that movie) as we weren't going to let any Grinchy fire get us down! I hope you enjoy the cookies (if you have time to make them) and I'm wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful year ahead in 2018!Claudia Bughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893132997720328084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-62558066095281694752017-12-19T15:21:13.280-08:002017-12-19T15:21:13.280-08:00Thank you Bridget, much appreciated.

Your Christmas cookies may be my holiday baking this year -- despite the fact that literally everyone is on some sort of diet right now.. Have as merry a Christmas as possible, and Happy Hanukkah to Steve. (Simcha is on his own - maybe celebrating the Holy Dog Food Bowl?) P.S. Was it E. Zimmerman who said "Knit through all Crises"? and thanks to your recommendation, practicing Colorwork may be my New Year's resolution. <br />I once saw a knitter zipping through a complicated Fair Isle sweater while chatting away simultaneously.

I'll keep them in my prayers.<br /><br />That hat is so adorable, and festive! I hope it's as fun to knit as it looks. <br /><br />My husband LOVES white chocolate, so I may have to surprise him and try those cookies - they look and sound pretty great, and I love cranberries.<br /><br />Happy Christmas to you, Steve, and Simcha the reindeer! xoBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641404632001445083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959066417173104882.post-21953339476440662402017-12-16T12:24:55.687-08:002017-12-16T12:24:55.687-08:00Claudia, I pray your parents home is safe and of c...Claudia, I pray your parents home is safe and of course your sisters also.
