Last night I started to bake some Christmas cookies. I love the smell of baking drifting through the house. I would be surprised that this batch is lasting until next week. I remember that my mother and grandmother would start in the beginning of November and the cookies would be stored with an apple
( to keep them moist) in our cold cellar. When it came to carry the boxes of cookies up for Christmas Eve we all kids had the " not guilty" look on our faces because half of it was already eaten.
The day before I baked a traditional German Stollen which comes close to a fruit bread. This was a winner and it's almost gone.
I started to decorated our Christmas tree and found in a antique store up north these ornaments from the 70'and 80's. ( 4 for a buck in the original package) The colors are reminding me of my first Sorel boots I bought in Canada.
Will there be any left for Christmas Eve?.....they look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love the antique decorations you found...I remember similar glass pinecones on out tree when I was little...they were a bronze colour and I loved how the lights behind would shine through them. yes...I would say it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas at your house!
