    Love the oyster stew.. use to make it for my father. He always wanted his soup a little creamy, so I would add flour, salt , corn starch to a little cold water then bring my stew to a boil then add the slurry. Turn fire down to let the stew cook a little. Yummy.

    Happy New Year! Granny’s prayer was really sweet. A sweet tradition singing happy Birthday to Jesus.❤ Our tradition is that we read Luke 2:1-20 before we open our gifts. That started when I was little and I told my precious MawMaw the story of Jesus’ birth and then when I learned to read we read it from the Bible and the children in the family always read it every year ever since.

    Granny singing with Paul was a Wonderful Christmas Gift to you and all your Family Tipper! I Know it was for me and being able to see her! I'm so happy y'all had such a Joyous Beautiful Christmas! Thank you Jesus and Happy Birthday! I know the food was good and having most of the family there was wonderful. Our Christmas was wonderful also. We went to my Son Shannons house yesterday and had Christmas with them and my Grand and Great Grandbabies! I held my 3 month old great grandson the whole day. I didn't want to share him. Lol. He's so sweet and just precious. Such big smiles and baby Coos! I couldn't get enough. I hope Y'all have a Happy and Blessed New Year.. Praying for Granny and that Paul feels better! I felt bad for him that he couldn't be there with the family and enjoy the food. God Bless and Keep y'all in his eternal Grace and Love! Amen 🙏🙏❤❤🎄🎁🍭🎄🎁🍭🎁🍭

    I hadn't thought about "Christmas Gift" in years, but that was what my grandfather said every time he walked in the door to visit no matter what the time of year was. Brought back great memories. I love your tablecloths and all the crocheted items. I crochet so I appreciate the work that goes into each piece. Love your sweater too. What a sweet blessing Granny said! Granny reminds me of my grandmother who I called Gramp (and now that's what my grands call me). My Gramp wore crocheted hats just like Granny.

Your channel reminded me of how many blessings I had in my life that I took for granted and ever since then I've been following y'all (including the Pressley girls) on your simple life filled with gratitude and faith in our Lord Jesus. Have a blessed end of the year and may the good Lord continue to bless you this new year❤

    You know, it really helped me adjust my perspective when I heard you say, "All we have left to do is..." because every year I think, "Why can't I get this all done earlier and have the day before Christmas just be easy peasy relaxation," but some things a body just can't do to much early before Christmas day! It just felt kind of good to know that I am not the only one still doing things to get ready the day before Christmas! ❤❤❤

    Mama made oyster stew often. She would save the little pearls she’d find and put them in empty pimento jars and hide them away in her cupboard. So there’s something about your lifestyle of a time I never knew but it’s memories are embedded in my mind and heart as if very familiar even tho not something I personally experienced….if that makes sense ❤I know it’s because there’s something in the life of the Pressleys that mirrors my mom’s having had been born and raised in Appalachia from 1933-1950’s before moving to Northern Ohio😢😊❤~Kathy

    So proud of my family. My uncle and aunt (86 and 83) hosted 25--three children, eight grands, eight great grands, plus husbands, wives, boyfriends and me. My uncle and I grew up in a monoculture, but the family now warmly embraces Mexican, African-American and Asian cultures. Hugs, laughter, chatter, squeals of the great grands opening presents. Wish everybody could have an equally wonderful Christmas.
