At home, where I grew up, our Christmas Eve services would be earlier so that the farmers could get home to tend to their cattle and sheep...hard, hard work.<br /><br />The snow has started up again here too. We'll be snowed in for the next two or three days, I imagine. What a winter!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270187580719408871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-43709922408704713222010-12-11T20:09:45.174+00:002010-12-11T20:09:45.174+00:00Oh Nina, it' wasn't that snowy...we are no...Oh Nina, it' wasn't that snowy...we are not prepared for any snow here, so everything grinds to a halt.<br />I might make some of the rolls for Christmas too, that's a good idea.

This sounds very snowy...<br /><br />We had two warm days now but the next days winter should be back with loads of snow - but too much is no good either I think...<br /><br />I have to make the rolls again as well, want to put them in the fridge for Christmas, so we have some of them whenever we feel like it - I think reheated in the oven they taste exactly like being freshly made!<br /><br />I hope you will be able to make all the preparations, <br />take care and all the best,<br /><br />NinaNöhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740244869208231798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-87298908488159222692010-12-08T10:05:04.706+00:002010-12-08T10:05:04.706+00:00Thanks Amanda...the rolls are just too more-ish......Thanks Amanda...the rolls are just too more-ish...I can't help myself!<br /><br />Thanks Angela....Ours have been colouring like mad, sadly board games are limited here, because the little ones wreck every game, trying to play!
