Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas from me to you.  

I hope Santa brings you peace and love, a KitchenAid mixer and a dishwasher… and a kitten.   

Merry Christmas 

Thank you for being all up in my area this year.  I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you come to this little place and say nice things… everyday.  You people are truly lovely.

 See this face?  This face needs a nap for Christmas… and a kitten.  That would be amazing. 

Merry Christmas.  Happy Holidays.  Watch out for eggnog… it’ll getcha!

Merry Christmas Joy!

I made your cream cheese cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning and I think it’s safe to say those will be a holiday tradition from now on.

I hope Santa came through for you with the kitten. Have a happy new year as well!

I would love to have got a kitchenAid mixer as my 30+year old mixer died earlier this month but unfortunately only got a new mouse for my laptop- maybe the new year might bring one. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas,recipes and inspiration this year(I only joined you recently and have found out so much) and may you and your family have a safe and Happy New year.

Merry Christmas and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Joy! You don’t know it yet – but a little family from very far away, snowy, freezing cold KAzakhstan loves you! Thanks a lot for your lovely recipes – your Macadamia nut and white chocolate cookies became a star this Xmas season for us! They say if you bring joy and make other people happy, this joy and happiness will come back to you at some point in your life – and I’m sincerely wishing you that!

Merry Christmas :)
Got a kitchenaid mixer two years ago for my birthday and adopted two kittens one male and one female about a year ago. I strongly recommend them both, one is fun in the kitchen and the other climbs into bed with you to cuddle up on cold nights :)

Got the mixer last year. This year, santa brought me a photo light for pictures and a Wusthof Ikon Creme knife set. What more could I ask for?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I love your blog and read it faithfully. I am a baker, too. Sure wish that my 28 year old daughter would be interested in baking ( or cooking for that matter!) She has no idea how creative baking/cooking can be! She is an artist and doesn’t realize that baking is just another form of “art”.

Late but nonetheless happy Holidays, Joy! I hope, you had the best Christmas possible with all of your family and friends, that Santa brought you that much-needed nap-time and a cute little kitten and I wish you a happy New Year full of baking, friends and happy times!
Thank you for spreading so much happiness and -excuse the pun- joy in all you blog-writings! You more than once have made my day this past year and thanks to your recipes I turned into something of a not too shabby baker. You seem like the person who always brings the sunshine with her! Please always stay such a great and lovely person! ^^

A kitten, eh? Well, we have three Maine Coons and my husband would be the first to ask you, “Want one of them?”

Merry Christmas!
