Now that the Thanksgiving gratitude and feasting has slipped into yummy leftovers (here at Cozy Creek we even share some leftovers with the local wildlife...deer, foxes, Mr. Groundhog under the supply shed, the raccoons begging for a bit of meat off the turkey bones...), it's time to get back to the tasks at hand for the Christmas season. Making his debut today is <b>"Christmas Season Jack Frost."</b></div>

Every once in a while the snow here at Cozy Creek in Christmasland can really pile up and we mean <i>really pile up</i>. Think northern New York and Pennsylvania Great Lakes lake-effect snow, you know, the kind where it looks impossibly deep. Now we can't have anyone losing their way, can we?<br />

Wow! The snow is up to Mr. Snowman's waist and that's where things can get a bit dicey. Being the warm-hearted soul he is, Mr. Snowman doesn't want anyone in Cozy Creek getting lost in such a deep coat of the white stuff. Besides, he promised Santa to deliver a special Christmas tree ornament. So he bundles up (<i>I know, but even a snowman likes to <u>look</u> snuggly</i>), puts a candle in his lantern and off he goes.<br />
<br />
This terrific 'lil fellow would make a perfect shelf sitting ornament where space is at a premium. Visit the Cozy Creek shoppe on Etsy for him and all his current pals. <br />

SNOWMAN, GRAB THE SKATES<div style="text-align: center;">
Well an unusual pre-Winter Arctic chill has sent the temperatures here at Cozy Creek Primitive plunging well below freezing. The whole gang here knows what that means: Scamper Pond has frozen over! Although normally it's a stream-fed two-acre pond where local kids go fishing in the summer, the Cozy Creek crew looks forward to the cold months for just this reason: <i>ice skating!!!</i></div>

Well, Scamper Pond isn't terribly deep to begin with and freezes over rather easily. Mr. Snowman dutifully went out to the Pond at sunrise and found that the ice was already a good ten inches thick and even strong enough to hold Wendy's Chubby Hubby. He burst into the workshop to tell everyone today's lunch break would be a half hour longer, so everyone could eat a sandwich, grab a steaming mug of hot chocolate and head out to Scamper Pond for some early season fun on the ice.</div>

Mice are quite the industrious little critters. They celebrate the approach of the Christmas season with the same degree of happiness that the Big People do! They've decided they can bring a snowman to life just like the Big People; it just take a bit more ingenuity, owing the the fact that they're on the tiny side to begin with... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNc9eYukDa3qf2IQlsMQ-EI5AsShYinq8-BxiTXylp4GnCxHtWTNg6bZbnTNzCHahKIvCbvEAxpDCezIDssJpElbsOy2aydjCy7XyBIKdcsOL9C1G8w_f0VqZEgfujr8y1CGNKuejnlE/s1600/Building+a+Snowman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNc9eYukDa3qf2IQlsMQ-EI5AsShYinq8-BxiTXylp4GnCxHtWTNg6bZbnTNzCHahKIvCbvEAxpDCezIDssJpElbsOy2aydjCy7XyBIKdcsOL9C1G8w_f0VqZEgfujr8y1CGNKuejnlE/s400/Building+a+Snowman.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So it takes a sled and the work of a lot of little tiny paws to get the parts of Mr. Snowman <i>just right</i>. But after a week of diligent effort, their hard work is rewarded by a snowman they can be really proud of and that equals anything the Big People can do, as the Cozy Creek Primitives shop owner and artist has discovered to her delight!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqrqNdb8Smzq-TcobMtcquZHzp8WbW2gpI6HwiyX72_Q4Bz_wj470gCY_3c0b3MlBSq5ZTHOTryyenW950g3i3K5qYC0TLdvJ0QnlvsGGkda7lVn_KitcZa1LdfSblhX4HUfrbgwzR9A/s1600/Snowman+Complete.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqrqNdb8Smzq-TcobMtcquZHzp8WbW2gpI6HwiyX72_Q4Bz_wj470gCY_3c0b3MlBSq5ZTHOTryyenW950g3i3K5qYC0TLdvJ0QnlvsGGkda7lVn_KitcZa1LdfSblhX4HUfrbgwzR9A/s640/Snowman+Complete.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
On finally finishing their hard efforts, here we see the happy mice singing the refrain "<i>There must've been some magic in that old felt hat they found, for when they placed it on his head</i>...."<br />
<br />
The wonder of what small woodland creatures can do when they decide to contribute their own effort to Christmas should never be underestimated!<br />

Yesterday, while Hubby the Shipping Manager was off on his appointed trip to the good folks at the U.S. Post Office with various and sundry primitive Christmas dolls and snowmen (<i>where he's known as the "Christmas Doll Shipping Guy"</i>), he stopped into the Hallmark store in the plaza. This past weekend, another hundred or so collectible ornaments were released, and hubby (and Mrs. Cozy Creek Wendy...) are suckers for anything cat-related. Scamper and Poofy are so super-diligent in their roles here at Cozy Creek that spoiling them more often than not is the rule of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It so happens that for 2019, Hallmark has released so-called "Mystery Boxes." (No not Scooby-doo, that's for another post...) The box as purchased is seen below. You either get a blue or orange tabby cat playfully hanging from a Christmas ornament ball, but the trick is that the ornament itself is sealed inside a black opaque bag inside the box to prevent selective choice by peeking and cheating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTgSBUR0BxWJ-wQqTvENtADIYslUGjnNoydORFHltkNauEXJbiJV0HoXrdyIdbjjFRTMLNK8Xx2cKGaQTNWON6FMFgsxwQIvl37IBZ0BV8BYtSAdvei5nExh5IXUZbbfGKkgXGPwDv_8/s1600/HM+MYstery+Box1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTgSBUR0BxWJ-wQqTvENtADIYslUGjnNoydORFHltkNauEXJbiJV0HoXrdyIdbjjFRTMLNK8Xx2cKGaQTNWON6FMFgsxwQIvl37IBZ0BV8BYtSAdvei5nExh5IXUZbbfGKkgXGPwDv_8/s640/HM+MYstery+Box1.jpg" width="488" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Well, combining something to surprise Mrs. Cozy Creek and the cats for Christmas is something hubby can't pass up. So he selected a box off the shelf from the few remaining and after handing a few bills to the cashier, eagerly tore into the box like Charlie Bucket opening the Wonka Bar with the Golden Ticket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.<br />
<br />

A blue-ish-grey tabby clinging to a ball! Mrs. Cozy Creek and all the cats heartily approved.<br />

Supervising production in a busy place like Cozy Creek Primitives can be very tiring, especially when you're a nice big, soft forest cat used to taking your fair share of naps during the day. Hopefully Mommy won't notice when you grab your favorite stuffed mouse and crawl inside a stuffing box lined with soft packing paper for just a few moments....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here we see Scamper taking a break and you can tell it's a great nap because he's blissed out and in the upside-down position called the "<i>kitty cat belly hug.</i>" He's dreaming of all the treats he and his little sister Poofy are going to get because they're sooo helpful to Mommy when she's making the Christmas dollies and snowmen!</div>

Just because you're made from snow doesn't mean you have to go out in bare snow feet if you're a snowman. Mr. Booty Snowman hops around just fine in his red boot, leaving a very intriguing trail of prints in the snow wherever he goes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact, his red woolen boot keeps all of him nice and snug (yep, we leave out <i>warm</i>, because as a <b>snowman</b>, well, <i>you know</i>...). His birchwood slice hat provides the perfect place for a cardinal and chickadee to share a cozy nesting place for the Winter as well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Greetings from the folks (or more properly, the <i><b>cats</b></i>) at production oversight and quality control, Scamper and Poofy. As authentic Siberian Forest Cats from the frozen wastelands of Northern Russia, we know a thing or two about ice and snow! That's why the good Lord gave three (yup, three!) coats of fur to keep us nice and toasty when the snowflakes fly.</div>

And though yes, we put the 'dorable in <i>adorable, </i>we take our jobs here at Cozy Creek Primitives very seriously. As long as the treat jar is within sight, not a snowman, elf, or gingerbread creation leaves this little factory without our stamp of approval!</div>

We see how Mommy crafts each and every doll with loving attention to detail, even occasionally drafting daddy into the role of shipping manager with his big noisy SUV, so we take our jobs VERY seriously. Nothing leaves here that Santa himself wouldn't approve of. <b><i>MEOW!!!</i></b></div>

Back in 1710, folks still had to do their Christmas shopping, including festive decorations and toys for the children, even if they were SNOW children. Mr. Snowman has obviously found a real bargain of an old-fashioned red sled, festively decked out with some greens and berries.</div>

He's also returning from some Christmastide shopping for greens, pine cones and some candy canes to make the snow house festive (<i>just like Mrs. Snowman likes it to be...</i>).

Now that October's right around the corner and Fall has officially started, a very noticeable change begins to settle over everything. Leaves on trees begin to turn shades of red, russet and gold. Mornings start off with a crispy chill that whispers for the comfort of a cup of coffee (<i>or tea, as you please</i>...). This is a perfect morning for the back door to crack open a bit and who should be there announced by the sweet scent of gingerbread but Holly the Gingerbread Girl<span style="font-size: x-small;">™.</span></div>

Primitive Handmade Snowman Wreath<div style="text-align: center;">
As September rolls onward (we call September here at Cozy Creek Primitives '<i>the phantom month</i>' because it seems to slip by without being noticed, just like Casper the Friendly Ghost, (but that's a topic for another blog post), the days slowly become shorter. They're not really too big on electricity in Snowman Land, so our Mr. Plaid Snowman is carrying his trusty little candle to light the way.</div>

These days, a variety of ornaments adorn our beloved Christmas trees. For some folks, (<i>including us sentimental types at Cozy Creek Christmas</i>), There's a special type of Christmas tree ornament that tends to warm our hearts like no other can, and these are the class ornate, blown-glass ornaments produced and sold by Old World Ornaments<span style="font-size: 12pt;">™.</span></div>

These ornaments, like this Santa Claus blown-glass figure, speak to a gentler time in our world, when the hectic pace of modern life was for a while, replaced with a gentle sense of wonder at the beauty, goodness and color of a special symbol of the holiday season, the ornately decorated Christmas tree.</div>

Mr. Vintage prefers his Christmas trees with a decidedly rustic, old-tyme charm. He's gone to the special Christmas tree lot and picked out one that perfectly suits his fancy.</div>

Mr. Vintage also prefers his Christmas tree to be standing on a vintage sewing bobbin stand; he thinks it's more authentic that way. New-fangled stamped metal just won't do, <i>dontcha know!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Mrs. Patty Pumpkin took her new custom primitive quilt to the Grange this past week and entered it in the quilting contest. It was her first time ever entering the contest, but she had high hopes for her colorful creation.</div>

Obviously her hopes were justified when the prize committee awarded her First Prize for her colorful Autumn creation! The mix of happy jack 'o lanterns and and Fall colors certain caught their eye and it will catch yours as well. She's perfect, along with her matched quilt, to light the way home for all the trick-or-treaters coming to your door this Fall! A happy variation on a time-honored theme!</div>

Here we go; the seasons roll onward and the next seasonal favorite to approach is Autumn and Halloween! Spotted on the store shelves today for the first time is that old Halloween standby, candy corn. Lore has it that candy corn was invented in the 1880s by a Wunderlee Candy Company employee named George Renninger. Wunderlee was reportedly the first to produce the candy, followed by the Goelitz Candy Company (now the Jelly Belly Candy Company), which has been producing the tri-colored candies since 1898. Back then, the cooking process was done by hand: a sugar and corn syrup-based mixture was cooked into a slurry (a semi-liquid mixture) in a large kettle, dumped into buckets called runners, and men dubbed stringers walked backwards, pouring the hot concoction into a tray of molds in the shape of corn kernels. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Candy corn has been primarily associated with autumn because of corn’s link to the fall harvest, and it seemed to become a Halloween standard in the 1950s when people started handing out individually-wrapped candy to trick-or-treaters, according to The Atlantic‘s series on the history of Halloween candy. That said, candy corn was also nicknamed “chicken feed” in the 1920s and sold in a box with a rooster on the front, not to mention a 1951 advertisement called it great to eat all year round, the magazine points out.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A warm tradition among many families in this age of <i>constantly-looking-at-a-little-screen</i> is putting a village underneath the Christmas tree. While it's easy enough to go to a store and purchase buildings and little figures to go with them, it's much more rewarding to make your own village (<i>not to mention that your pocketbook won't feel the sting of a Department 56 price tag</i>). There are many online vendors that sell no-fire ceramic buildings that are ready-to-paint. (<i>Unless your hubby is a master model craftsman, Lionel trains are perfectly acceptable!</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is the tree we've come to call the "Christmas Wonderland Tree!<br />
(This was in 2011 before we repainted and redecorated the house!)</div>

The moment thoughts of Autumn start to come around, we rush to our local FourBucks....(<i>oops, you know what popular coffee chain I mean </i>😉) and order a pumpkin spice latte. But why fork over an Abe Lincoln when you can have it right there in your own kitchen? This recipe is simple and you probably have most, if not everything, you need to make it at home right now. </div>

<span style="font-family: "open sans" , "helvetica" , "arial";">Start by heating milk of your choice, pumpkin puree, and sugar on the stove. You can use whole, 2 %, skim, or dairy-free milk. Coconut or almond milk would be great as well. Then add vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and <b><i>strong</i></b> coffee. The mixture gets divided between two mugs and it’s time for whipped cream. <b><i>Enjoy!!!</i></b></span></div>
