A time to relax


The holidays can create a sense of being overwhelmed. This year I baked over 750 cookies and am happy to say gave them as gifts to many, many friends and relations. I really enjoy doing this yearly ritual and when I was unable to do it last year felt as if something was missing in my Christmas spirit. Perhaps it is the act of giving something that I created that I so missed.

Now that most of the gift cookies are gone, the house is clean, and the menu for a holiday brunch all set, I took some time to "chill"; well not actually "chill" it was more like a nice hot soak in the hot tub. Something I always wanted to do when the temperature was below freezing and the snow had fallen. It was so enjoyable.
