On this Monday before Christmas Day, I expect many of you that love to bake are finishing up your favorite breads, cookies, candies, etc. Yesterday I saw this wonderful recipe for "The Best Christmas Pudding" by Frank Peairs. Be sure and include it in all of your Christmas gatherings!
"Take some human nature -- as you find it, the commonest variety will do -- Put a little graciousness behind it, add a lump of charity -- or two. Squeeze in just a drop of moderation, half as much frugality -- or less. Add some very fine consideration; strain off all of poverty's distress.
Pour some milk of human kindness in it; put in all the happiness you can. Stir it up with laughter every minute, season with good-will toward every man. Set it on the fire of heart's affection; leave it till the jolly bubbles rise; Sprinkle it with kisses -- for confection, sweeten with a look from loving eyes.
Flavor it with children's merry chatter, frost it with the snows of wintry dells, Place it on a holly garnished platter, and serve it with the song of Christmas bells."
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat of peace on earth, good will to men. Then pealed the bells more loud and deep; God is not dead; nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men.
