I used to bake a lot at Christmas but I don't anymore...I like to eat it too much! My favorite Christmas goodies are fudge, chocolate covered peanuts, and Christmas cookies (decorated sugar). Your Christmas cactus is amazing!

The cookies look s tempting. I don't do much Christmas baking anymore because the farmer has a winter hobby and it's cooking and baking. He's made shortbread, two kinds of biscotti and brownies so far and will continue to whip up a batch of something every few days. I try to freeze everything right away and then "just one" is my watchword over the holidays but it doesn't always work. Shortbread is my favourite.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-48730559962401946102011-12-08T03:47:44.384-05:002011-12-08T03:47:44.384-05:00Your pictures shows pre-Christmas atmosphere very ...Your pictures shows pre-Christmas atmosphere very well!<br />We had first snow yestarday (wit rain) so it did not stay but still...:)Olahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974463440732558398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-80336369590888164012011-12-08T00:40:09.808-05:002011-12-08T00:40:09.808-05:00Oh Pat. ..so fun to see New York's preparation...Oh Pat. ..so fun to see New York's preparations for Christmas.

All the boros, too. :)<br /><br />Look at all the baked goodies in your post. I live in a town that doesn't even have a bakery.

The strangest thing for me as a Michigan person in an area of Christmas tree farms, was to spend several Christmases in Arizona. Like New York City, the trees were available and were very lovely...and just as piney-smelling as if we had gone to the tree farm and cut our own. And now on to baking those goodies!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449811536220541352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-74109461190602291782011-12-07T19:29:29.440-05:002011-12-07T19:29:29.440-05:00I love the smell of pine.I love the smell of pine.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179126521525239749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-86967817210447552122011-12-07T17:47:45.591-05:002011-12-07T17:47:45.591-05:00Please, please, please post you recipe for Rainbow...Please, please, please post you recipe for Rainbow CookiesJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466581682412369461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-11124384385535380062011-12-07T15:57:35.912-05:002011-12-07T15:57:35.912-05:00Hmmm, I'd love to walk between the Christmas t...Hmmm, I'd love to walk between the Christmas trees. There's nothing finer than the smell of a felled pine forest. And I do believe that it is a renewable resource. I just don't like the mess.<br /><br />Your Christmas cactus is a corker. I didn't know that there was any scent, but then my Easter cactus never blooms in such profusion. <br /><br />Yes, I adore the smell of gingerbread and have been discussing with John the possibility of making a gingerbread house. He says I'm on my own as he's too busy with the real one. One that size that you showed would be just about right.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-13146617150799778932011-12-07T13:04:53.758-05:002011-12-07T13:04:53.758-05:00Oh it must be wonderful at Christmas in your wonde...Oh it must be wonderful at Christmas in your wonderful city!
