Nope, it's not candles or cider or cookies or fudge--it's the baking chex mix. The whole house smells of it. (dunno if that's a good thing!)And the lights are up....much to our surprise. Ever have one of those moments when you THINK you know what you're doing only to discover you don't have a clue? Yeah, well, we....errrr...*I* had multiple "those kind of moments' today. I knew how we ran the electrical cords (no we don't need a three plug adapter--and if we do, there's one in the basement!), I knew we had another strand of red lights in the basement cuz I unpacked all the lights(we have three more strands in the basement--really!!), and I knew we had those zippy tie thingies (nah....don't bother to grab some while you're at the hardware store--we have plenty).
The good news--it's not all bad being older....you don't have the energy to 'hide the body'. I'da been dead if the reverse were true! LOL
The lights are up!! The lights are up!!
(Okay......so we...ummm....*HIMSELF* went to the hardware store three times--)
The lights are up!! The lights are up!!!
And the chex mix is in the oven............stinkin' up the whole house.........
And the fella at the hardware store thought the Brit stood a good chance of getting off on "temporary insanity" -- IF they found the body.

See photo! LOL And recipe:
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons Lea & Perrins™ Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 cups Corn Chex® cereal
3 cups Rice Chex® cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex® cereal
(or any combination to equal 9 cups of chex cereal)
1 cup mixed nuts
1 cup bite-size pretzels
1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips or regular-size bagel chips, broken into 1-inch pieces
Preparation Directions:
1. Heat oven to 250°F. In ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated.
2. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.
Gotta warn ya though, once you start snacking you'll want to have made a double batch. OR maybe that's just us! LOL Could be!
