Tuckered tootsies tonight!

Am done with cookies -- what didn't get made isn't going to get made.  Still have to finish the tree; Tom & the kids got a great start on it but we've got another bin of boxes of ornaments to go through -- at the very least the icicles have to go on the tree.  Then have to pick up and put away all the boxes, cookie sheets, baking stuff, ladder, unplaced decorations, etc etc etc.  Going to be a busy day tomorrow but I'm done for the night!  (And an aside:  after years (35 at least) of making anise drops I've discovered parchment paper is the secret to not having to lather the Crisco on the cookie sheets in order not to have the cookies stick.  Taste test tomorrow to see if they are good and snappy (another problem I have with getting them right.))
