I’m at home in New York City. Blogworthy moments are happening nearly every ten minutes. I can barely keep up, and yet I have no time to right them down. I’ve made 80 kajillion cookies: almond crescents, peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses, coconut macaroons, jumbles, etc. Double chocolates and snickerdoodles to come tomorrow, plus lots of wrapping and last minute holiday errands. Must sleep. Happy December!
December is stressful, but I like it anyway

Have a great time! Happy December to you as well. That’s some baking load, be kind to your back after it all. Safe travels to you for when you return!
And if you remember a blog worthy moment or two it will be a pleasure to read.

Merry X-Mas Eve! How is that CD? I dig Sufjan Stevens! He’s that dude who sings about Michigan and Illinios, right? Hmmm….I think I need to pay the itunes store a visit.
I hope you are having a sweet time at home for the holidays. I think it is great that you go back. I’m sort of wishing we would have…while Christmas Crackers and Mince Pies are fun enough, they aren’t my grandma’s weird Sorbet X-Mas Punch or my mom’s English Curried Chicken or my Step Family’s Cauliflower Fritters. I hate to admit it, but I miss home.
Enjoy it. Your family seems very cool, too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
you make me want to hop on a plane, hearing about all those wonderful baked goods! Here in Victoria, it’s windy and raining a little, but it makes me feel cosy in my home so I don’t mind. Have a great time with your family!

December is stressful, but like a road race (or a good ultimate Frisbee game) it builds to a wonderful crescendo around the end. Enjoy it as much as possible.
And a very Merry Christmas to you!

Enjoy!!! I’m on 32 kbps dialup here.
So our lifestyle is severely cramped, but each family member seems to be on a mission to make the most puns. Pretty funny. Nothing quite like the holidays. Make sure you have enough people to share those cookies! Maybe thinlizzy17’s cat could take them off your hands. 
Merry merry-

Ooh, holiday cookies. Why is it that cookies always taste better around the holidays? Actually, why is it that everything always tastes better around the holidays?

We had a cookie extravaganza in Michigan too. Hope you are having a wonderful time on the east coast. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
