Wow, this is the best present ever....I've been so bogged down with sewing and making sure that all my commitments were filled and I was fighting a timetable.
I kept thinking that I only had less than 10 days left until Christmas, and I had no idea how I would manage all that's left to do. I was just talking to my daughter and she just said to me "Relax mom, there's still 2 weeks left to go until Christmas"....."What?" I ran to the calender and sure as shooting there it was in black and white. I just got an early Christmas gift...the gift of time....*lol*
.
Today I made 3 batches of sugar cookies and my DH made 2 butter tart squares and a banana bread. All that's left to do in that department are the shortbread and the spice bars.
Phew...what a lot of fuss, but you know it just wouldn't be Christmas without all of these goodies that we only get to eat once a year. I never make shortbread or gingerbread at any other time.
.
I don't usually make much of a fuss for New Year, but this year will be different. My 2 grandsons will be here on January the 2nd and I have to make special dishes for them. I make a French Canadian Ragout, and of course meat pies or Tourtieres and little "pigs in a blanket" which is small spiced pork sausages wrapped in pie dough... Yum... I won't be making these until after Christmas.
.
Now, I'm going to go take a long relaxing bath, (might even add bubbles) and light a few candles in the bathroom and bring in my glass of wine. Enjoy my new found present.
Now how decadent is that?
