Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Holidays to you and your family, dear Mary.
I don't think I had heard this version of this song, but I love it. I have always been a fan of both Art Garfunkel and Peter Simon.
That Southern Nut Cake looks like something we would love. I'm already wishing I had a slice to go with my morning cup of coffee.
Mary-you make the most wonderful treats- have a wonderful weekend!
I just gained 5 pounds, but it was worth it. I love candied walnuts and caramel popcorn....
I thought I was done but those peppermint patties are kinda calling my name...
The pink peppermint patties look awesome, and they aren't too hard to make! I love Art Garfunkel and have one of his albums.
I had no idea you could make your own peppermint patties.....I'm in big trouble.
All of your treats look delicious--especially loving the candied walnuts and peppermint patties. ;-)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Saturday, Mary! What better way to celebrate than with all these wonderful treats :)
Alle sieht lecker aus. Grüsse aus Berlin.
They all look great Mary! I just said yesterday that I thought I'd make some chocolate covered candied orange peel for Ma. Your link is broken, if you get a chance could you try to fix that? I'll check back later:@)
Hayırlı hafta sonları, ellerinize sağlık. Çok leziz ve iştah açıcı görünüyor.
Saygılar.
Mary, Everything looks really beautiful. And, listening to Art Garfunkel was a beautiful way to start my day.
haha you have most certainly expected WRONG! I have not a single thing made or planned. Not good. But those pink peppermint patties. I NOW have plans to make them! Great round up!
I would love to come over to your house and enjoy those treats :D
Mary,
Wonderful treats. The nut cake looks wonderful. I have small list of things to make on Friday and then I am done!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

Thank you for sharing the lovely video! I had not heard Art Garfunkel's beautiful carol before. I especially loved the last scene in the video of the snow-covered tree with a red Christmas ornament on it!
:)
Your sweets are a work of art!!!
Have a great weekend.
I have my list of sweets to make but haven't started yet.
Hi Mary, if you need something to drink with all those delicious treats, try my homemade eggnog! I could go for a slice of that Southern Nut Cake right this very minute!
The southern nut cake is a definite for after Christmas baking! I've just about cooked and baked out for now. Time to start eating!
Best,
Bonnie
Oh my goodness! So many choices of wonderful things to make. I am focused on the peppermint patties! Happy Holidays.
Everything looks really yummy--especially those pink peppermint patties.
Have a great Saturday.

Lovely! And the Christmas goodies look divine, too. I'd love to try the peppermint patties or the candied walnuts or the fudge or the pudding. LOL Well, maybe a little of everything. Merry Christmas!
Happy Pink Saturday.
Gosh, what a lovely round-up of treats.
Wishing you a lovely Christmas ♥

I loved all your photos. So yummy. Happy Pink Saturday.
Happy Holidays to you Mary!!!!
What beautiful music to listen to as I read through your post, Mary, and scrolled through the lovely pictures of your Christmas treats. The names were particularly compelling, and I will be chasing after some of them in a minute here. I just want to give you a giant metaphoric hug and wish you a very Merry Christmas. I really feel the spirit of the season on your site today.

Hi Mary, I too love this song. It is a blessing to many. It brings us closer to the meaning of Christmas.
Yes, my baking is pretty much done but we are going to our daughter in Jax, FL for Christmas and we will be cooking up something special. All you shared sounds delicious. Thak you for the ideas for a special treat. The nut bread is my fave.
Wishing you Merry Christmas blessings.
Hugs, Jeanne
I love the look of those white chocolate truffles, and the walnuts and the popcorns and the nut cake, oh everything! All of them look so yummy!
Pink Peppermint Patties? How perfect! :)
Those white chocolate truffles look so gorgeous!
I am compiling a "Christmas playlist" and that song is definitely going on it!
What a terrific round up of treats Mary. If only there were 30 more days till Christmas.
