Christmas cookies account for a full 30% of my annual weight gain. Oatmeal, chocolate chip and Grandma cookies (or white cookies as one of my brothers calls them) are sinfully good with a mug of coffee.
The only ones that don’t tempt me are the sugar cookies. With their sweetness and the colored sugar crystals adorning them I think of them as a snack for young children who haven’t yet developed a more discerning palate (to each his own).
Camera Girl is revered by all who can get their greedy hands on any of these treasures and the short time that they last is one of the high points of the culinary calendar.
Various snack mixes are what do me in this time of year (I’m not the “Portly” Politico for nothing). Beautiful photography of beautiful Christmas treats!
Thanks. We all have to recalibrate after the holiday binge. But a little excess is worthwhile I think.
I agree. It’s an event worth celebrating–the birth of Jesus Christ–and some excess and merriment are in order to set it apart from the rest of the year’s dreary (if necessary) moderation. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas.
