Currently: December 2020

Usually I wait until my blog friend Dara has posted the "currently" prompts to write this post but I decided to make a bold move this month and link up with the actual "currently" prompt blogger, Anne at In Residence. So read on for December's prompts.

Well if you've been reading around here for the last few weeks you already know I am obsessed with Holly's Applesauce Jumble cookies. I baked my third batch of them on Monday and I won't tell you how many we've eaten since then. Seriously, if you haven't made these yet, then why are you reading my blog right now? You could be making these delicious treats and enjoying them while you read my blog. It's seriously a win-win situation :)

[decorating]

Rachel and I did some Christmas and Channukah decorating yesterday. I love our dining room at this time of year. And this weekend we'll get our Christmas tree and I'll make my Channukah centrepiece. 

We have Christmas lights in the window and Channukah garland through the whole dining room.

I'm so excited this year because we bought most of our gifts at local stores in our uptown. It felt really important to support these small local businesses this year and I'm so glad we were able to do that.

In case you're wondering what we actually bought, let's just say our kids are getting a lot of things to do -- make, craft, build, read, etc. It's Covid everyone and we won't be socializing over the holidays so our kids need things to do at home.

[hoping]

I'm hoping that the rest of the snow predicted for our area didn't fall overnight. I'm writing this on Tuesday night and I'm tired of shoveling. I already told Dave I'm waking him up early this morning if we got another dump of snow and I have to go to work.

I have no clue how sore my arms are going to be today because that snow yesterday was heavy.

[sending]

We actually addressed, stamped, and sealed all our holiday cards this past weekend. And now they've been sitting on our back table for three days waiting for someone to get them to a mailbox. I am making a promise to all of you reading this -- I promise I will put them in a mailbox tonight. You all have to hold me to this, okay? (Our family is famous for either being really early with our cards or really late -- like February/March of the next year late. Let's stick with "early" this year, okay?)

 Rachel, Dave, and I addressed the bulk of the cards on Friday night while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. Sam was on a Jr Youth Zoom call.

So this is what's up with us "currently." How about you?
