And welcome to December! Time to decorate and think about sending cards, and an array of online messages. I actually put the tree up last night as it was the first Sunday of Advent and Jan mentioned it is traditional to do it then.

I have a mini-tree this year - let´s see if I am patient enough and find mini-deco. To your tomatoes!
I wonder if they would ripen faster if they kept company with a banana.
Christine com certeza a paciência é a chave, apesar que muitos não tenham, feliz mês de Dezembro bjs.
All the best on those tomatoes. All the best to getting the holidays ready. I am sure it will be warm and cozy.
More snow today. Oh, I wish I had gotten more done in November.
Those are some cute tomatoes.
Can you believe it's already December? Happy new week and new month to you Christine.
Have a nice day!
Dear Christine, there's a trick: add a single red tomato – it speeds up the process!
All the best and a wonderful Advent season 🕯️✨❣️, Traude
Ever try fried green tomatoes? I can't recall, I think I've made them once before. The name of the monster on my blog is Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Enjoy decorating. We've had our trees up since right after Halloween. So fun!
I'm amazed at the tomatoes too. Happy December.
I wish you a wonderful first week in December.
Patience is important in all aspects of life.
nice
I love Advent, Christine. We always have an Advent calendar and candle wreath on the dining room table. Christmas will be up soon!
Those stubborn little tomatoes are a lovely reminder that some things ripen in their own time
Time to make some fried green tomatoes.
I need to start growing tomatoes. I haven't in a long time. I either did not know or had forgotten that it is tradition to put up the tree last night. I have just done that and am looking at all the lights as I type this. Gosh it was a fast year! Thank you for the very nice welcome home message. It's good to be back visiting again.
When Jabblog said "I wonder if they would ripen faster if they kept company with a banana." she's right!
Apparently a good way to ripen your tomatoes is to simply place a few unripe, unblemished tomatoes inside a paper bag. Don’t smush them in there; you want a little airflow so the fruits don’t mold.
The add a ripe banana, apple, or pepper to the bag and loosely seal it. (just fold the top over a few times so it stays closed.)
Place the bag in a warm spot and the tomatoes should ripen in one to two weeks, depending on how much color they had in the beginning.

Well done on putting your tree up yesterday ... and thanks for the link back to my earlier post on the low carb diabetic :)
Have a happy December and a good week.
All the best Jan
Patience indeed!

Hurray for patience! Tomatoes are worth it.
You are way ahead of me, Christine!
