I usually like your posts…but what’s with the XMas? It takes only a few more keystrokes to write out Christmas! I have no idea what XMas is, but I do know Christmas is our celebration of the birth of Christ.
Let’s celebrate His birth with all these yummy recipes you have posted!

Hi Linda, I completely agree with you, but sometimes we need to use specific words because that is how people search the internet. This way they can find out content easier. Hope that makes sense. Merry Christmas! 🙂 Kelli
