Good King Wenceslas looked out On the Feast of Stephen .... {the third day of Christmas}

Well, today was my rest day!

I did have a good day!

I ended up not sleeping that great so I was up by 7 AM doing dishes!

I also did some laundry (Cleo loved the flannel sheets that I later washed :) ) 

I enjoyed a salad and the chicken takeout for lunch and we finished

the beef short rib takeout dinner tonight!

Mr Husband was back at work today... I missed him... but had some good

conversations with my Grandma (she is healing well, thank God!), my Mom

and a long text conversation with my sister-friend.

I enjoyed 2 of my Mom's peanut clusters! 

And I had the Russian tea this morning, it was really good!

The bergamot fragrance was strong but the tea is as it says, delicately flavoured!

 It's quite good with a faint sense of "spice" on your tongue as you swallow! 

It is from a Russian Church in CA!

I am excited to try the last 2 Christmas teas I got! 

I am really enjoying the Miss Read Christmas book! 

I have not read it before and have been saving it for the 12 days of Christmas! 

It is so nice!  I love Thrush Green! 

Tomorrow will include more cleaning at home, I have my first (small)

Christmas dinner on Friday night, God willing!

I am hoping to make the Turkey Casserole again!

I find that it is food that makes a lot of memories and enjoyment for myself;

presents I remember in past years are often the food items I am given....

and tea :) ... of course I have been given many other lovely things

including books that have lead to hours of enjoyment, etc. 

I am grateful!
