All of those cookies look delectable and I would surely want a piece of that cake!  I hope that you had a very Merry Christmas!

Good morning Kathy. Christmas morning breakfast at our house and I cooked. After a break so my grandson could nap we went over to my son's place for a delicious dinner. A great day and I, unlike you, ate too much! Enjoy your day!

Hi Kathy Streib -  Cookies, cookies, cookies.  My daughter brought more to our house yesterday.  I don't have the willpower that you do.

Our downfall this year were Ebelskivers. It's hard to not eat them as you are popping out batches. Bernie made an especially delicious lemon curd too - we dipped them in it, and then filled some with it.  We made them for our local family members, and then of course, made some for us yesterday morning. Oh well. Your cookies look wonderful and I was happy to see Santa dropped by. Bet your family loved the celebration. D

All your cookies and the cake as well look very yummy.  I did any cooking beforehand so only cooked my steak that I had for dinner last night. Have a super Saturday.

Hello Kathy, this was a down year for me of not baking and getting cookies tins out to my clients, 2019 was 142 tins and all hand deliver but place it safe this year.

I did some cookies this year, but not like I normally do.  Was way more important to spend time with my mother, who was with us for a few days.
