I apologize for not being around much lately, but I have been busy doing Christmas baking and sorting out some personal issues. Monday I shipped off two boxes of goodies, one to the former Mrs. Translator for her and the two sons that will be able to spend time with her for the holidays, and the other to Eldest Son and his bride who are unable to come home for Christmas.
Contents included Black Walnut/Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Hickory Nut/Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Apricot Bread, Black Walnut/White “Chocolate” Chip Toll House Cookies, and of course Lizzies, a family Christmas tradition. I got word from both of them that they each got their goodies in good condition on Wednesday. Hat tip to the USPS for providing excellent service and a very good price with Priority Mail.
There are some really good seasonal songs playing these days, and I shall share some of them with you tonight. Most of them are from my childhood, and many of them are from Goodyear’s Great Songs of Christmas, Volume 5 from 1965, so I would have been eight at the time. I rooted around through my vinyl and alas no longer have the record. Others are from different sources.
