    Mary, quit apologizing for something that you either bake or cook. Who cares if it is organic or not. It all looks very good.

      You are right! There’s also the folks out there that think it all needs to be gluten-free. The only people that need that are the ones with celiac disease or sensitivity.

      It’s a natural reaction for an apology to come out.. I’m the exact same way- I seriously don’t think mary is sincerely sorry but it’s makes her feel better to say “sorry”.. it’s a part of her personality and who she is...*MARY I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE PLEASE DON’T EVER CHANGE A THING FOR ANYONE ELSE❣️🥰

      Dear Mary Loved this video, listening to you talk about butchering chickens it was something that my family and grandmothers did as well, there were nine of us so my parents taught us how to raise and butcher. So it was passed onto me. There is nothing that taste any better. You are such an inspiration. I have learned so much from your channel. All the Christmas decor is stunning. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Blessed 2023🎄🎉🎊

    We just processed 37 chickens to fill our freezer. It is the best feeling knowing that you are eating your own chicken that was fed well and so much better taste wise - a lot of value for a little bit of effort.

    Funny story. When my mom was in hospital after having my sister, my dad who grew up on a farm and I had a whole chicken to cut up to fry. It grossed us both out so much we ate out the next few days! That was 1974. He is 87 yrs old.

    Good morning, Mary! I like that you changed your snow from batting to glittery powder. I was thinking the batting looked like a blizzard had covered your village. :) Your kitchen looks so inviting - so simply beautiful!!! And I love your twig card tree!!! What a great idea!!! I wish I would have room for one. Thank you for sharing another inspiring video!!!

    You know Mary, you have a knowledge of using moulds, so here’s an idea: What if you made a mould for the cement Christmas nativity scene and you could either make soaps or candles in that shape? They’d fly off the shelf, I feel confident.

    I love all of your green and white for Christmas, very serene and pretty. Btw, I also butchered chickens when I was a teenager, I learned to cut off the heads, dunk in hot water and defeather the birds right down to gutting them and cutting them up to be frozen. I loved working alongside my siblings and parents while we put away the chickens.
    I am going to make that broccoli salad, I already have the ingredients, we will enjoy it tomorrow. Thank you for the video, I always enjoy yours.

    You are so enjoyable to watch. Vanilla is so easy :) For the size bottle you have, fill 2/3 full with Vodka and 10 high grade vanilla beans (sliced down center) Put lid/cap on, and place in cool dry dark cabinet. wait at least 3 months, I check it every couple weeks, shake, and make sure beans are below alcohol level. Best at 6 months and over .Beautiful dark color. You can add more alcohol or beans at any time. (Rum, Whiskey work also) Merry Christmas!!!!

For example like yours. I love those cookies you made. They’re my favorite all year around. Your right many names for them. I remember the first time I watched my Mama make them, they became our traditional cookies in our home at Christmas time.
    Wishing you n your family a memorable Christmas with much love, joy n laughter.

    I definitely have to try the salad. It looks so delicious ❤
