Twas the night before...

...and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, because all the damn cookies were made. I don't think I've ever made as many cookies as I did this year. Eventually, when it became obvious last night that the "fivetuple" (whatever's after quadruple) batch of shortbread I made was indeed not going to be enough, I grinchily decided that two people on my list simple weren't getting cookies this year. Sorry Grandma.

In addition to the hearts, I also made little white men, little brown men, stars and circles.

All batches included, I made, count em' SEVENTEEN BATCHES OF COOKIES and it STILL WASN'T enough. I'm getting smaller tins next year.















After all that, I collapsed on the couch, brewed a cup of tea and watched the 1951 version of everyone's favourite holiday Dickens tale.
