Inside, though, there's still plenty of red and green, so it still feels festive. I've thought about leaving some things up too, TF, but in the end I took it down. Except some little lights in the kitchen. I left them in place because we might like them for a party night.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-74988537479255217652010-01-03T10:56:42.948-05:002010-01-03T10:56:42.948-05:00Happy New Year, Granny Sue!

And I think I'll leave my fireplace trim up all winter. I always say I will and never do, but this year...I AM!!<br />Sorry about the necklace, but you are probably right about the crow.

I ended up making a rice medley with hopping john, brown rice, peppers, onions, turkey leftover from Christmas (frozen), red pepper and garlic. I also found a can of sweet potatoes and made praline yams--delicious, almost a dessert, and of course we had the cabbage. And a glass of chardonnay to top everything off. I made so much of the rice that now there are two big containers in the freezer. I will never learn to cook for two, it seems. Your dinner sounded delicious, especially the peanut-ginger sauce.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-60117008198495747372010-01-01T20:36:33.135-05:002010-01-01T20:36:33.135-05:00Blackberries, Kate!

I certainly like the idea of "found" gifts. That could lead to some interesting gifts.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-43375266129236073442010-01-01T20:34:55.944-05:002010-01-01T20:34:55.944-05:00Angela, I bought a pack of mized beans for soup on...Angela, I bought a pack of mized beans for soup on Thursday, and plan to cook them this week!

Mom put up the tree on Dec 24th and left it up until after their anniversary on January 11th. By then it was pretty bare! She claimed that Jan 11th was actually 12th night, and I have read of others who also count the days of Christmas as she did. We always gave gifts at Old Christmas, though, and the wise men would finally arrive at the manger scene!<br /><br />Since it's a live tree this year and we have wood heat I'm a little more cautious and think we'd better move it out now. <br /><br />It's hard for me to put away Christmas. That's one reason I keep the greens and I also tend to put out red placemats and feature red in decorating in other ways--keeping at least a little of the holidays around for a while.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-43523639919294008852010-01-01T19:16:53.498-05:002010-01-01T19:16:53.498-05:00I love your improv approach to dinner!

We met first at the Y open house -- and I had a lovely caricature done! <br />For supper for just myself, a friend had mentioned shrimp, and I have some in the freezer (from Angel Food), so I improved pasta, shrimp, vegetables, with peanut/ginger sauce for flavor -- Nice!<br />Happy New Year!!Mary Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952344253284240716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-34604149818483607902010-01-01T18:26:56.086-05:002010-01-01T18:26:56.086-05:00Hey Granny Sue, this is lovely!

We still have Olde Christmas to come.<br /><br />Some celebrate this on January 2, counting 12 days from Solstice. Others celebrate on January 6.<br /><br />In our family, we use this holiday as a chance to give another gift -- only this one has to be something found, homemade or pre-loved. And we always serve something made of blackberries -- blackberry mountain pie or a blackberry punch.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your traditions with us.Granny Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796564953236247413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-16444818368404060472010-01-01T16:29:36.725-05:002010-01-01T16:29:36.725-05:00How I smiled when I read of you taking Christmas t...How I smiled when I read of you taking Christmas to pieces already. Here in UK there is a tradition that all decorations and trees are left in place until Twelfth Night (Jan 6th) - I am afraid I can never last that long. I love the lights and cards and decorations but once New Year's eve is over I can't wait to get them down and away.
