Two For The Price Of One

Ahhhhhhh..the joy of having a mother who celebrates the Eastern Rite aka TWO Christmas season celebrations for the price of one ;o)Nothing makes me happier than when the Epiphany (a national holiday in Italy) and Russian Christmas coincide!

You have your Epiphany dinner ( our traditional menu here )

 

 

 

 

......and then you have your Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner...

 

 

 

 

Now granted we TRY not to go too overboard and we TRY to do the two meals one night after the other.....the deserts are a whole other story

Happy New Year, Merry Christmas ( to all of my Russian Orthodox pals), and HAPPY THREE KINGS!!!

Well I guess that I really got sidetracked with all of the goings on in our neck of the woods. Nevertheless, one of my New Year's resolutions is to be a GOOD BLOGGER :o)
Now with that in mind, let's start with my new passions.....

Now the thing is Angus is getting really bored by the whole thing. Even though I continue to try and explain how soothing and spiritual this whole process is, he just yawns and throws his head back on the pillow.

2) Button, button, whose got the button ~ fabric button magnet that is...can't make enough, can't get enough supplies and can't cut out enought teeny tiny pieces of fabric for these:

Here's hoping that this is the start of a prosperous New Year for all of us in Blog Land.......but mostly one of good health, good fortune, and good fellowship!
