***HAPPY NEW YEAR***

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of my followers and visitors a very Happy New Year and hope that the year 2012 will be a happy, healthy and wealthy one for you all.

Traditionally, on New Year's Day, we have a roast beef dinner and enjoy relaxing - catching up on television programmes that have been recorded and not seen - due to spending time in the kitchen mostly! I believe that this past Christmas, I had made, cooked and baked more than ever - foodie gifts and treats and meals and desserts - oh my!

 I have had a wonderful Christmas with my family and I always look forward to the television off for the time we are together while we play games. LOL...we even played 'pass the parcel' and 'musical chairs' which had us 'laughing out loud'! *Ü*  'Logo' is a boxed/board game that I like too... it takes me on a journey through time - back to my childhood at times with guessing the brand names and logos of different products/foods. We also played a Christmas quiz that I had and Christmas bingo. Such fun times when we interact with eachother.

I'm not one to make new year resolutions these days. I do try to improve myself in different areas and try a little harder to be a better person in general.

So, here's hoping that 2012 will be kind to you and that there will be lots of happy memories. Just think...it will soon be Valentine's Day! *Ü*
