I think it is somehow incorrect to vote for someone other than Ella Fitzgerald, but the rockin’ Ronettes sing Sleigh Ride so bouncy that you feel you’re in the sleigh. BTW, totally love your boys!!!!!
I absolutely love Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas. I did not know it was a book. Jim Henson was a genius.
Favourite Christmas cookies: Peanut Butter balls! I will frequently make these for Christmas cookie exchanges. They’re easy to make & always a crowd favourite 🙂
Tim,
Thanks so much for the shout-out and showcasing my snowball recipe. I must admit, I’ve let the blog lag a bit lately, but I’ll get back to it soon. Keep up the great work.
Glen
