Merry, Merry Christmas Eve Eve to you! Just a wee note from the Palm Six to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I just ate two popcorn balls in the last ten minutes. My mom sent them to me; I mean our whole family. Confession (mom, don’t read this next part) in the last week the kids have each had two popcorn balls. I have one or two each day. I hid them from the kids. I love popcorn balls. My mom sent other treats, so they have had plenty of Grandma’s homemade goodness. Just not in the popcorn ball category. If you haven’t had a popcorn ball this season, run, run to your supermarket and get the ingredients now.
We have been in the full Christmas swing around here. I think this year I will remember Christmas by all the baking. I think it’s been my coping mechanism a bit. I tried my hand at fudge this year. It never set. So, now, it’s fudge syrup for ice cream. We also tried our hand at caramels. They got brick hard. Now, they are caramel syrup for ice cream. Saufferer family (my maiden name), if you are reading this, don’t eat all the fudge and caramels at Christmas. Maybe you could pack up a bit of a Ziploc and send it with my mom when she comes in a few weeks... If you do eat it all, could you make some more?
There is a bit of shindig here tomorrow, for a Christmas Eve lunch. Appetizers, soup, bread, and yummy treats. I hope it’s a real barn burner. Can you have barn burners for Christmas Eve? Who even knows where the term barn burner came from? Anyway, I did put away the Star Wars light sabers and Nerf guns tonight. I remember last year’s Christmas party, there was a bit of deal with them. You don’t want to deal with a weapons deal on Christmas Eve, that’s my motto.
Okay, so our mystery picture from the last blog got an overwhelming nod towards the overflowing yeast. I guess it wasn’t so mysterious. Or maybe you guys are incredibly smart when it comes to mystery pictures. Let’s go with the latter.
Love to you all and Merry Christmas.

yeast!! yes :)
i have been known to be a good guesser when it comes to those mystery pictures ;) "highlights" magazine anyone?? just sayin' ...
sitting here next to mom and her guess would have been one of the kids toys, placed in the mug (likely by one of your sweet kiddos) and then placed in the microwave. hmmm...good guess, right?
anyways, we love and miss you guys lots and hope you get to thoroughly enjoy your ice cream toppers and the real stuff when your ma comes in jan.
