Oh my goodness Donna, we are destined to miss each other on these special occasions. Regardless whether near or far, remember you are always in the thoughts and I hold you close to my heart.
Life in Sandy Point is plugging along – like living a fantasy most days. Always such fun! And here it is Christmas again. So much to do and the best of it is the preparations, making Christmas cards, baking and and. Best time of year! I am in Gander for Christmas – longer if the weather is bad … extra underwear packed just in case. lol
How I love making special cards for the special people in my life. These electronic cards are not quite a nice as the paper kind but it’s still such a pleasure for you are my treasured goddaughter.
Christmas is a wonderful time of year but as wonderful as it is, there is always an element of sadness interwoven with the beauty and magic.
We are always forging new paths and creating new traditions while we cherish each memory the people we love and of days gone by.
Life changes as the
years come and go –
that’s natural and
the way it should be.
But let’s take care
that the heart and
meaning of
Christmas
remain the same.
Merry Christmas from My Home to Yours
The Message as always…
Hope | Peace | Love | Joy
Wishing You and Mike…
food for your bellies
a roof that doesn’t leak
cozy evenings by the fire
good books on your night stand
laughter in each and every day
the special joys of family
and
the warmth of friendship
I hope you and Mike have
a WONDERFUL Christmas
and
may the coming year
bring you blessings beyond measure
Here’s to good health,
happiness and adventure
And, of course, the tradition continues …
This Year's Recipe
Turkey and Dressing Casserole (Christmas 2025)
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups cubed cooked turkey
1/4 cup onion (chopped)
1/4 cup celery (chopped)
1/4 cup salad dressing
1 egg (beaten)
3/4 cup milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Dressing
2 cups bread crumbs
1 tsp savoury
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup melted butter
Directions
Make dressing and divide in half. Spread 1/2 of dressing on bottom of casserole dish (9x9x2). Combine turkey, onion, celery and salad dressing. Spoon over dressing. Top with remaining dressing.
Combine egg and milk mixing well and pour over the casserole. Refrigerate for about 2 hour. Pour soup over casserole and bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top and return to the oven until melted.
TIP: This is a great way to use leftover turkey. Other times, I substitute chicken or fish.
