Christmas For Her Family

Because there are only so many hours in the day, Parkinson does forego some things.  For instance she does not like to spend lots of time in the kitchen.  "The decorating does take my time, so I do not bake."  She is hoping this year her daughter-in-law, Meghan, who does enjoy baking, will help her in that area.  Baked goods are always a favorite gift for Parkinson to receive from friends.  Any other meals to be served that include more people than her household, she has catered by The Silver Spoon.
