Well, another week as done come and gone and for one I’m proud it’s Friday because I need a couple of days away from Ashley. 

I head on over to Christmas in Cottonplant tonight after I get off work.  The way they are talking that this might be the last good weekend (weather wise) until after Christmas.  So I’m hoping a lot of people come on out tonight.  I had already gotten a call from my friend Justin last night wanting to know what time do we stay open, so maybe several people from Tupelo will be there.  So maybe we will have a crowd out there

Saturday, I’m going to be on my way back to Corinth for the third and final round of Christmas present shopping.  Next week, I will brave the grocery stores to get the stuff I’m going to cook during Christmas week.  This week, I have to finish up buying for my family & friends.  I think my last count was 17 more presents.  I really don’t mind the shopping as I said in my post on Monday, but it’s the rude people.  But it’s almost over with and I’m just going to enjoy the time left in the holiday season. 

For Christmas, I have gotten my recipes for Christmas gathered up and this is what I’m going to be making.  I am making rum balls, Kentucky Bourbon balls, Peanut Butter Fudge, Red Velvet Balls, Nutter Butter Balls, Butterfinger cookies, & Heath Cookies.  These will be going to my Mamaw Maria’s & my Daddy’s house.  I’m also going to cook a Potato Soup lunch for the shop as my Christmas present to the shop.  I’m going to cook O’Charley’s potato soup, pimento & cheese sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, & Chex mix…all homemade.  I love cooking this time of the year…I just put on my Christmas music and start cooking or I watch some old Christmas movies and just wrap presents.

This Saturday, I have got to go back to Cottonplant.  Maybe this year we will break our record of 4500 people.  That was achieved on the weekend before Christmas 2007.  Last weekend, Saturday night, we had 1200 people.  So, if you are in the Northeast Mississippi area this weekend or the next, please come on out.  You will get to see me and my family at our finest! 

Well, I hope that everyone has an AWESOME weekend!!! 

Oh, I also want to want to say a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mother and my friend, Bubba aka Scott Sullivan!

Take care,

Johnathon
