Over a decade and a half ago .... I was searching for gift ideas for my dads, grandpas, and uncles. Boys are hard to buy for... but they do like food. Since I was (and am) the baker in the family, my mom had a great idea- why don't I make several kinds of baked goodies and make Christmas baskets for the guys in the family. What a great idea!! And that's what I did.... and that is what I still do. I tried to get out of it one year, but when I mentioned it to the recipients of the baskets, the response was not overly postive...so every Christmas, I put on my Christmas music...my snowman apron....dance, sing, and bake.
Nick offered to help this year- and I'm no dummy- I readily accepted! And help he did!! He made two different kinds of fudge and was in charge of wrapping the cookies in addition to his usual job of getting things off the top shelf for me. Pepper even helped by being in charge of floor clean-up in the event of a spill. She takes her job VERY seriously.
MMM...cookies. I think I will have a glass of eggnog (another Nick specialty) and do some quality control.
Now I just need someone to come do all the dishes....

Yes, much more "Martha Stewart" of you. Doesn't look like you burned a batch...and they are all nicely uniformed decorated and shaped. I'm very proud. Too bad I live too far away to come over and sneak a few....
By the way.....I know of someone who is not going to be in her 20's anymore tomorrow.....have any idea who that might be?!?!?!?
