Not one, but 2, count them, 2 fails in the candy area

I think I am just going to stick to the recipes I know.  Two recipes from Pinterest, two fails 😒😒😒.

Today I am making my mom's "famous" 'roca' candy.  I KNOW how to make this & I'm sure it will turn out just fine.

I'm getting the front room ready to set up our Christmas tree.  We are a tiny bit late this year, but we normally don't set it up until ~ 2 weeks before the day.  I get tired of needles falling all over.

We will have family over for Christmas Eve; clam chowder and gift opening as our traditions.
