The Sunday Post #4 (12.22.13)

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about
what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.  

I’ve
decided to try a new weekly meme – a place where I can do both a weekly
wrap up and share what books I get all in one post, so I’m going to
give The Sunday Post a try, and also link up with Sheila’s It’s Monday Post over at Book Journey. 

Well – we’ve gone from freezing temps to temps in the 60s…and all the snow has melted. So much for a white Christmas here in New York! Oh well…

Can’t believe Christmas is almost here. I have all my shopping done – just need to wrap all the gifts. Yesterday I did some baking – had to finish making fudge and I wasn’t alone…it seemed quite a few of us on twitter were all making fudge. I make two kinds: regular chocolate fudge and a peppermint fudge that uses dark chocolate and then crushed candy cane pieces sprinkled on top. I made both last year to bring to my in-laws for dessert on Christmas Eve and they were a hit (and quite easy to make so I don’t mind making them again!). 

Happy holidays to all…safe travels for those that are traveling and enjoy all the family time.
