Merry Christmas Bread

 I am having a cup  of Tazo Seasonal Joy tea today.  It's a tea that a dear neighbor gave me, along with the beautiful counted cross stitch she made and framed.   The sweet angel and baby Jesus is a Goebel that my dear Dad bought for me in 1979.  Isn't it sweet? 


My bloggy buddy, Lynn, from Happier Than a Pig in Mud posted a recipe for Christmas Bread.  It looked so pretty and I was anxious to make it.  It's so moist and flavorful and perfect with a cup of tea.  If you would like to give it a try, the recipe can be found here.
I made four mini loaves that can be shared for gift-giving.  If you like cherries, coconut, along with grated carrots, you'll love this bread. 
This picture was taken recently at a Breakfast with Santa with my six grandchildren. 

I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to thank you for being my friends.  You have blessed me with love, kindness, compassion and prayers.  I am forever grateful to you for enriching my life and for being there for me.

I am sharing this with these lovely parties:


            Thank you for your visit!  xo

  5. What a fantastic photo of you & your grandkidlets, Kitty! I love seeing you smiling right along with them. I know they bring you joy & laughter...mine keep me in stitches.
    Lynn's bread is very similar to one I've made for years. I must find that recipe & compare notes & perhaps make some changes.
    Loved seeing your Daddy's sweet gift to you....that angel looking over the Christ child is adorable.

    I'm thinking of you through this difficult holiday season and you remain in my prayers. I just don't have the spirit although I'm trying to do things to honor Abby. I'm so hoping 2014 is a better year!
