Getting in the spirit: listening to carols on the radio, decorating the fat tree my husband found, attending my friend Alden’s holiday concert at the Melrose Symphony (a whole post on that to come), and baking cookies.
Even though I try new recipes, I find the sugar cookie recipe John got in nursery school to be the most reliable, and I love the worn cookbook he made, held together by yarn, and his scribbles on the cover.
I especially love this line in recipe: “use good-sized cookie cutters so children can be successful in handling shapes.”
Here I am working away. Please note my five golden rings, Suzanne’s creation.

Can report that the cookies are delicious! Nice rings 🙂
As a “secret angel” to one of my colleagues for our office celebration, I’m delivering a few of those cookies to a certain desk early this morning.
oh no, it looks like you need to update the pictures on this blog post!
