I’m not sure how we got here. We’re now just a few short weeks away from Christmas! Pinch me!
Physically I can’t say I’m ready, but in spirit I am. I don’t even know what that meant; it just felt right saying it. Anybody here an expert on psychoanalysis? You have my permission to psychoanalyse me. In return, I’ll get therapy for free, deal?
So, anyway, Christmas. I have yet to make my list. Of things to do, cookies to bake, gifts to buy and wrap, and so on… By the time I finish the list, I may have a few hours left to spare before Christmas arrives. If I’m lucky. Everything moves so slowly in that noggin!
From last week’s fiesta:
“I’m always drawn to whatever Jess is baking up and this week was no different! These pinwheels are so pretty and festive they’ll look great on any holiday cookie platter.” — Alex
“Jess’s pinwheels look so lovely and bright, a feast for the eyes and taste buds. What a great treat for friends and family during the holidays.” — Zeba
“Looking at this makes me sooo… hungry!! It looks and sounds delicious beyond belief. I need to make these koftas, pronto! I know they won’t disappoint.” — Angie
“Oh, chicken and dumplings, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways… Sometimes in a quest of cooking something intriguing for the blog, you forget old staples like this. Thanks for the reminder, Alex.” — Angie
“Well, I’ll be! Lo Mein in Instant Pot?! I gave it a try and it worked like a charm. What a gem of a recipe. It’ll be a staple in my house from now on!” — Angie

I feel so excited for everyone who is celebrating Christmas. I could imagine how fun it could be. Phew! Less than one month and it’s 2019!! Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie. Thanks to you and to our co-hosts.?
I know! It’s impossible we’ll be welcoming the new year in a few short weeks. How did that happen? Can we freeze time, please ?
Oh I would love to freeze time, Angie!?
Aww thanks for the feature! I hate how quickly these last few weeks of the year come and go. I always have such lofty plans for what I’m going to do/cook/buy after Thanksgiving, and then all of a sudden it’s Christmas already! Enjoy the season!
My pleasure! Same here with me, with lofty ideas and then in the end not having time to execute. Oh well, there’s always next year ?
Ahh…. Finally found some time to party! Thanks for hosting a great one!
Thanks for coming to the fiesta, Helen!
I feel the same way. I just can’t believe Christmas is only a few weeks away! I don’t feel ready or maybe it’s denial that another year is coming to an end soon. I can’t get over 2018 is almost over. Well, going to stuff my face with cookies now, lol.
I feel the same and would like to say “hey, the new year wait for a while, I’m not ready yet”
That’s my new motto! When in doubt, eat cookies, lol. Another year gone, another year older…sigh… Not too sure I get any wiser 😀
December is one of the amazing months of the year, isn’t it? I wish I could freeze time too, I was planning to cook so many things, but with all those Christmas tree lighting ceremonies and markets around.. not enough time as usual 😀
Same story here. So many plans, so little time… But hey, Im happy you put aside time to cohost. Thanks for that, Mila! XOXO
The older I get the faster the time goes! Wow! And the less energy I have, too. But I have adopted a do what I can and forget the rest attitude. Thanks for the feature and the shoutout!
Mollie
That’s an attitude I need to adopt. After I wake up from my nap 😀 I can’t function without my naps. Sign of old age, sigh… LOVE the Lo Mein!! So much!!
Thanks Angie!! I;m so glad!
These looks amazing round up..all recipes are fabulous. Happy Fiesta Friday
Thanks, Lathi! Happy Fiesta Friday to you, too, and have a great weekend! ??
So good to view all the goodies posted on FF every week. Getting some more treats ready for tbe holidays!
I feel exactly the same way, Rita. Especially this week; we’re getting really great and inspiring links. I’m glad you’re enjoying the fiesta.
Gosh just LOVED all those featured recipes. Beautiful pinwheels and then those super tasty sounding dishes. Just perfect for this time of year. I too am only ready in spirit ?
Not to worry, Jenny. The closer we get to Christmas the more spirit we get and eventually, we’ll get off the couch and actually DO something physically ?
How do you get so many comments on your side ??. Jealous (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Are you sure you’re jealous about that? Be careful what you wish for, lol.
