White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know,

Where the tree tops glisten,

and children listen

To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright,

And may all your Christmases be white.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

On a one-horse open sleigh,

Over the fields we go,

Laughing all the way;

Bells on bob-tails ring,

making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

Place all ingredients in a crockpot or on the stove - let it heat & simmer! If you’re making this for a party, start it early in the day & let it sit on low all day - the aroma from it will make your guests think you’re Martha Stewart when they walk in the house!

If I feel like being fancy, I’ll garnish the cups with an orange or lemon slice.

Topping:1 large package raspberry Jello (170g)2 cups boiling water (500 ml)1 Tbs. lemon juice*2 – 3 cups frozen raspberries (500 – 750 ml) (*I find the jello sets quicker if you use the maximum amount of raspberries – and besides, we love the extra berries!)*1 cup whipping cream (250 ml) -I always use extra whipping cream for the topping about 1 1\2 cups (375 ml), sugar, vanilla

Method:Crust: cut margarine into graham wafer crumbs until it becomes a well blended crumb mixture. Press into a 9 x 13 pan. Reserve 1\4 cup of the crumb mixture. Refrigerate for 1\2 hour.Filling: Cream the cheese well, slowly add milk, beating until light and fluffy. Add the instant pudding and mix until it’s thickened. Gently spread filling on crumb mixture.Topping: Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Fold in frozen raspberries. Stir until berries are mostly thawed and Jello is partially set. Add lemon juice.
