    Oh such pretty featured posts!

    I have to admit I actually squealed about the mini Resee Cup pies, I am so going to try that…but have to wait till hubs is gone b/c he is allergic to nuts.

    Yes, I am a closet Resee cup eater!

    Thank you for hosting your pretty linky party!!

    Hi Kathryn!
    Thank you for hosting this party!
    I have decided to link up our traditional table cener piece in Croatia – Advent Corolla. It has 4 candles – symbols for 4 Sundays prior to Christmas. At every Sunday dinner, family lights up candles; yesterday we have light first candle, next Sunday two etc… These candles are put out not by blowing but with piece of bread dipped in wine, usually done by the youngest in the house.
    I also link traditional Nativity scene placed under the Christmas tree. It is assembled at Christmas Eve by whole family. The figures of Three Wise Men travel slowely toward Jesus' crib untill Epiphany (Jan. 6th) when they meet Jesus.
    I hope you will like it!

    I left link #29 for Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal, a great Christmas morning breakfast or brunch idea. I'm also hosting a giveaway for the new ecookbook, Festive Traditions: A Real Food Guide to the Holidays. The book includes many gluten and allergy free recipes. Stop by and enter.

    Kathryn, visiting your blog is like pulling out an encyclopedia used to be– checking on one thing then getting distracted by all the pretty pictures and ending up spending hours! Can't wait to read your features!
    Thanks for the party!
