2 New Christmas Traditions



Both of which came to me yesterday. And I don't mean I thought of them. Brian's sweet mom gave us THE most beautiful carved olive wood nativity. It's so lovely I can't even find more words to describe it. So I'll continue.

And my visiting teachee (that does more for me than I do for her) brought some treats, including my new obsession: chocolate-dipped, crushed-candy-cane sprinkled oreos. I'm not a zealous oreo or candy cane fan, but the combination is magical.

I'm coveting your nativity set!

And we had some chocolate covered oreos this weekend, I LOVE. With peppermint too they'd be even more amazing.

Both are wonderful. I tried the cookies and they worked out ok. But I am truly envious of you nativity.

I asked my teachee today and she said to use super high quality chocolate. It melts thinner, otherwise I would imagine the chocolate is too thick on the cookies.

I'm so glad you like your nativity, Helena. It looks beautiful on your mantel. As for the oreo cookies....what a great, and easy idea!

Love you lots!
