Christmas Cookies

Wednesday December 18, 1991

I'm up and cooking today and making 2 cakes and alot of cookies. I enjoy it but am very tired by the end of the day. So much standing. I feel really good these days.

Looking forward to our Christmas party on Saturday here with all the family.

Besides the Christmas tree with decorations and the hundreds of handwritten Christmas cards, one of my fondest memories of Christmas in our house growing up was Mom making spritz cookies with a cookies press like the one shown in the above photograph. Our entire kitchen table would be covered with cookies sprinkled with green or red or glazed with frosting. She loved doing it even though it was alot of work.
