We are literally just a few days away from Christmas. I imagine we are all trying to maintain the spirit of Christmas while dealing with the materialistic side and hoping they will meld in a blessed way. I have only a bit of shopping left to do and am working madly on one, final gift that requires more days of work than I actually have the time to do. Christmas miracles happen, right?
Children and friends are home from college and seminary so mini-reunions are happening now much to everyone's joy and happiness. Students are on vacation and parents aren't having to drive so many hours a day for a few weeks. There has been expectation in the Readings and Gospel reminding us of how long the wait was for the Birth of Jesus. In the midst of all the problems of the world, there is still hope for those who want to look for it.
Meanwhile, as mothers, we still have to cook and clean. I got my baking done but get to make some extras for holiday meals. With that thought in mind, I was reminded of a cookie I tried last week that met with rave reviews from the family. It seems complicated but it actually easy and looks impressive. I wanted to share the link with you:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/linzer-cookies-10000000392629/ I did post the recipe earlier in the month but, in case, here it is, again. Enjoy!
Here is hoping and praying that everyone has a blessed Christmas and finds much happiness in this wonderful time of the year.
