Sweets galore

Its official... Christmas is here.

You can always tell when Christmas is coming because your daily diet becomes nothing but sugary treats. Teachers have started to give the students candy every class., and the students are starting to comment that their diets have been nothing but sugar.

Sugary treats has been a Christmas trade mark for me for many years. I picture Christmas as my grandma's coming to our house bringing tins filled with an assortment of cookies of all types: from peppermint pin wheels to strawberry shaped shortbread.

The tradition of tin cookies is comming to an end though. This past Feburary my one grandmother passed away. Then my other grandmother is no longer able to move around as swiftly as she use to so cooking is out of the question.

The tradition will be up to my sisters and me to brign back the tin cookies. Hopefully we will begin this year.
