Christmas treats

I love making Christmas cookies, they fill the house with the most wonderful and heavenly scent, are fun to bake and make ideal little gifts. Giving them away is one of the last errands I run before Christmas, something I look forward to every year. With everything else done, it is wonderfully relaxing to go and see friends, neighbours and 'angels', dropping by the parcels and wishing everyone a Joyeux Noël!

    Everything you do is extraordinary! Those cookies are perfection. And I like that they are unusual and not the usual stuff. Did you wear your apron??? Thank you for your lovely little blog and Joyeux Noel!
