It's Friday! It's the third Friday in December, which means our holiday party is tomorrow night and I'm not ready!!
My husband, Michael, baked a Solstice Cake and a Figgy Pudding last night. I may back a pie for the party; or may punt and just pick up goodies at the store. I'm close to finished with my ghost story and have cleaning and cooking and other prep still to do!
