Rudolph the Red Nosed… Pancakes?

---

If someone ever says to you, can you make pancakes that look like Rudolph, you will truly be able to say “yes.  Yes I can” And how cool would that be?

While we may not decorate for Christmas until well into the second or even third week of December – we do still crank out the Christmas tunes, and use every opportunity to turn something ordinary, into something Christmassy!

And you may gasp at the third week of December part.  Well, we’re a one holiday at a time kind of family, and we don’t gear up for Christmas until after St. Nicholas Day has come and gone.  A lot of the St. Nicholas decorations are also suitable for Christmas, but there is a clear distinction of the two.  See our Gingerbread House for dessert on St. Nicholas Day here.

 

But when my Son says “Mom, can you make pancakes that look like Rudolph for supper?” I say “heck ya!”

Whip out the Christmas Tunes, and prepare to indulge your tummies and your holiday spirit!
