My college son who usually does this with me on Thanksgiving had a busy schedule when he was here so ... it did not get done. Now I am torn between doing it myself this weekend... music and wine a must!

But, like you, when I quit worrying over it being perfect, it turns out to be a wonderful time and beautiful memory. The chocolates look wonderful - so many tempting things to try this time of year.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely post.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-45814199132939747492011-12-14T23:07:48.453+10:002011-12-14T23:07:48.453+10:00The traditions are never quite what you think they...The traditions are never quite what you think they might be, but it looks like Callum helps make good ones.
