Merry Christmas to All

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.........Finally a quiet moment after a little holiday rush.  I got a few packages mailed, made a few cookies, ate more than a few, sold some Rio Grande Chile Spice Mix, Blue Corn Maiden and Hearty Buckwheat Pancake Mixes at some local holiday bazaars and from my website.  I hung a little greenery around the door, decorated a tiny Christmas tree, and sang a few Christmas songs in the choir. Now I'm thinking about my sweet potatoes with a little Rio Grande Chile Spice Mix for our family gathering here in Washington state.   I made a few red and green chile burritos last night for supper  and I already had my Christmas tamale.  Oh what fun.....Today I have time to think about old friends and past Christmases and...loved ones who won't be present this Christmas.  I'm thankful for my holiday traditions that  stay somewhat the same over the years.  I do think of my many Christmas holidays in New Mexico which is my connection with my chile mix and many of you. So.....I say.....Merry Christmas to you and I hope Rio Grande Chile Spice Mix continues to make you smile.
