I know when it's four-ish without looking at a clock! That will be a fun post to work on!

One of my favorites, too! Sometime after the holidays I would love to read more about your afternoon tea. Do you do tea alone or wait for Philip to get home? Do you do a "full" tea with heartier foods or just tea and biscuits? Do you eat a late dinner (8:00ish) if you have afternoon tea? I think tea is such a lovely tradition and we've talked about doing it, but it would be a major change in our way of doing things. Any insights (and recipes!) would be appreciated! Hugs, Sallie Lanier,

Celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is a holy time, and also one of joy. Many times I become so busy I forget that Christ is the reason for the season.
