I’m up to my elbows in the cookie factory. It’s going well and I’m having a lot of fun. I listen to Christmas music as I bake, and here and there I take a moment for a holiday jig. Sure – it’s dorky, but it also keeps me smiling.
I would share new photos of the cookie line, but there’s no need. You see I make the same cookies year after year. And I’m still loving it. So the old photos will do just fine.
One new addition to my delivery list for this year is a halfway house for women and children. Putting together their tray of goodies filled me with such joy, I can hardly explain. And I think that’s what this season is supposed to be about. I don’t have to be there when the folks receive their cookies. I don’t have to get any props, either. The giving is enough. Ain’t that grand? If you know that feeling, you’re with me on this. And you understand just how fabulous it is to give, period.
Anyhoo – back to the factory. Those cookies aren’t gonna bake themselves.
