Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything
is softer and more beautiful.
~ Norman Vincent Peale
A three-year-old gave this reaction to her Christmas dinner. "I don't like the turkey, but I like the bread he ate."
Christmas is a time when you get homesick—even when you're home.
~ Carol Nelson
He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.
~ Roy L. Smith
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.
~ Burton Hillis
One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly.
~ Andy Rooney
You know you're getting old, when Santa starts looking younger.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes
Cream together
3/4 cups butter
1 cup sugar
Add, one at a time, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy:
2 eggs
Blend in:
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp pure lemon extract
Sift together
1 ½ cups cake flour (or pastry flour)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
Fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture alternately with
½ cup warm, undiluted evaporated milk
beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Fold in:
3/4 cup chopped candied (glace) cherries (or dried cherries)
2/3 cup chocolate chips
Bake in greased and floured mini loaf pans or in paper lined muffin tins. Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Muffin sized cakes will take only about 15 to 20 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't overbake.
