Noth’n Says Christmas Like…

Like a knock at the door just after breakfast,
and a friend standing there in -35 weather to bring you a treat!
I didn’t exactly know what to say when I saw Kim on my step in a beautiful red coat.
She had brought some of her home made Pepernoten cookies (a Mennonite tradition)!
I was humbled because I had made a little comment on a photo of hers about childhood memories wrapped around these treats.
I really do cherish such kindness and thoughtfulness.

As a little girl I used to attend a little Mennonite Chapel.
Each Christmas they would have bake sales and for 50cents I would buy a pretty big tub of peppernuts from the older ladies.
I would then rush home and devour them all alone in my room.
I looked forward to them every year.
They really are a perfect winter treat!

Little Woman, Baby Boy and I ate them with some very warm tea in between naps all afternoon…
no reason to leave the house when you have cookies, tea and babies to snuggle!
Thanks so much Kim:)

Merry Christmas!
