Merry Christmas Eve to you all.
It has been a good day. I took my gift to mom this morning. I had to park down town and walk back to her apartment because of all the piled up snow. LOL Oh well, the exercise did me good. When I got home Kevin asked if I would make some fudge so we can take a bit to his mom tomorrow. He offered to run to the store for me and get everything I needed. I only make the Fantasy Fudge, so just needed marshmallow creme, evaporated milk, and chocolate chips.
I had everything else. He brought home small marshmallows, but it worked. I have the fudge cooling. Then made up a cheeseball for tomorrow. I just winged it. Used some cream cheese, Ranch seasoning, worchestershire sauce and shredded cheddar cheese. I roll this in sliced almonds. We only eat this at special occasions.
I had not made fudge in many years because it is so rich. I can see the weight jumping on me with every bite. LOL
I am excited. Kevin and I have not opened gifts for each other on Christmas morning since all the kids moved out. We usually get something for each other sometime during Dec. This year we each got Memo Pads.
Anyway, my sweet hubby knew that I was kind of down because we had to cancel our Christmas gathering. Because of other obligations, we won't be able to get together with all the kids till the end of Jan.
Well, he went to town this morning and brought home a stocking with some wrapped gifts in it. Oh my goodness, you would have to know my husband. He never, ever wraps anything. He bought this stocking, bought wrapping paper and tape and wrapped a couple of gifts for me. I am so touched, that I am teary just writing this.
He said that it was probably quite a sight for everyone to see a big bear of a man, in the parking lot, trying to wrap a gift while cutting the paper with a pocket knife. LOL I told him I did not care how it was wrapped. Just the thought that he made a special trip to town on Christmas Eve day to get something for me and wrapped it himself, just blows my mind. The idea of fudge was just an excuse so he could get to town without me expecting anything.
He is a sly, but so sweet man!
We still got fudge, though. LOL
Happy birthday Cathy and Susan! I hope you both are having an amazing day.
Everyone have a wonderful family Christmas Eve!
Blessings,
Winona
