A little bit of decorating. Looking at the picture I realize how redneck I've become.

I bought more than this, but this was my first baking ingredient shopping trip. Just getting all that stuff in my house made me feel jolly.

Here is a picture of Sahlah's Brown Sugar Cooke dough just before going into the oven. I took a pic of the finished cookie, but I couldn't find it on my camera later - Bah!

Here is a pic of the Brittle I ruined. It was a gooey sticky mess, and I didn't have a clue what to do next.

So - I pulled of gobs and rolled them into balls, dipped them in chocolate, covered them with chopped nuts, and called it candy.

Here are the bags of Christmas cheer I will be giving out to deserving work peers and supervisors (lucky dogs) :-)

I found myself not at all in the holiday spirit this year, so I decided to start some routine holiday chores. This helped me very much. So, if you are feeling like Scrooge - definately go and burn some brittle to cheer yourself up.
