I am always humbled by people (like my sister-in-law, the amazing master baker and goddess of all things domestic) who can pull together those incredibly beautiful cookie trays like this: What must that take, I've always thought, like three or four days of straight baking? How can anyone pull that off while simultaneously doing other pre-Christmas activities?
This year I guess I figured it out.
We have made eight or so different kinds of cookies lately, as well as a huge vat of cranberry-almond-orange caramel popcorn, and it wasn't even hard.
Messy, for sure, but not hard.
I think it has to do with not being pregnant, not having anyone under 12 months old in our family 
Oh yes, and the fact that MRD and KLD can pretty much do everything by themselves now. Here's a small sample of their beautiful creations:
I admit I do still have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Christmas baking. But this year, it's almost all just love.
