Some Christmas Images to Inspire ~ Easy Chicken Soup ~ And Naming Sheep

Today is a busy day.Trying to get some stuff done around the house.The lights went out on the christmas tree so I have to undecorate and redecorate to replace the lights.Want to finish up my outside decorating and boy is it cold! And need to get some etsy listings on mostly doing vintage christmas the next few days..So I thought I'd post some pictures that I found with great christmas ideas,a comforting soup for a cold weekend and White Sheep farms sheep names..... Let's start with Easy Chicken Noodle Soup...

2 carton(s) (26-ounce) reduced-sodium chicken stock or broth
2 cup(s) water
3 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
3 small parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced ( I use a small potato instead)
3 stalk(s) celery, thinly sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 1/2 cup(s) cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 pound(s) extra-wide egg noodles
2 tablespoon(s) minced parsley
2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a 5- to 6-quart soup pot, bring stock, water, carrots, parsnips or potato, celery, and onion to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
Stir in chicken and noodles; cover pot and continue to simmer 7 minutes, or until noodles are just tender. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Ladle into bowls.
