What I really want for Christmas

All I ever want for Christmas is LOVE. It's not always about the getting...its about the giving too. Everything comes from Love. The emotions of LOVE fill my heart and make me so happy. If I love something then it brings me happiness. It could be a certain person, place or thing. It doesn't matter if it was in past or right now. As long as it is something I LOVE...then a smile is usually on my face. When you feel love, others should be able to see it. I think I show that and hopefully no one can accuse me of being fake for not having the emotion to go along with my smile. Those that know me...know my smile and feelings and LOVE are all real. I might not have the fat wallet to show LOVE through monetary gifts but sometimes the best thing I can offer is my LOVE. "And the greatest gift is LOVE"

Gorton memories

There are so many magical memories of the holidays that when I close my eyes I can picture Christmas' gone by and the smells, sounds and feelings all come back. One of them is Gorton. It is a French-Canadian recipe listed below that I remember eating. It is a spread that I like served on toast. I remember it all winter long, but mostly for the holidays. Mr. Forgue, who sang in Sacred Heart Choir with my Mom, had given my Mom his recipe and it was delicous. It was in her green recipe book found in the bottom drawer in her kitchen. Once a year she would bring out the recipe and make Gorton herself. When she got older, it was easier to buy it from the store than to make. There are these small little mini bread slices that were served Christmas Eve along with the Gorton spread. Some put yellow mustard on theirs. I like mine just plain. We just made some and it has to cool overnight. The smell is bringing back so many wonderful memories.
