I thought I would share my most favorite Christmas ornament with you today. Mom bought this one for me back in 1983 from the Hallmark store in the then new Valdosta Mall. I cherish it for so many reasons: because she bought it for me and because it is so dang cute.
This is one of those ornaments that I keep separate from all the others because I am so afraid it is going to get broken. One of the downsides of having the girls put all the ornaments up this year was my inability to find this ornament and a few others that I treasure. But I persevered and moved Old Jack to a more prominant place. Now if I could only find Aunt Ro's ornament...

And isn't it a kick in the pants that the spacing is all wonky? What do you expect from a former webmaster? Anywho - if you love Jack as much as I do they have some available on
Ebay. I wouldn't go for the guy who is trying to sell him for $75 though. What a rip but then again, I wouldn't take $1,000 for it either.
And since I have been so lazy about my Christmas cookie book (it is done but I am not happy with the layout) I have decided to randomly pop in a few recipes here and there. Today we have Chocolate Peanut Butter Drop cookies. Yummy! Oh. And that picture up there. It isn't mine. I stole it from some where. Source credited!
