December 15

After working parts of the last couple of days today was the day to let the Christmas baking begin,  

I finished up my cards this morning and then started the Christmas music.

I started with Austrian Chocolate Balls.  They have been part of my Christmas baking since we lived in Germany.  I always melt my chocolate double boiler style.  No microwave.  I have ruined too much expensive chocolate that way. So I go back to the old method.  It never fails me!

Next I started on a batch of shortbreads.  I am from a British heritage and there fore shortbread cookies play a big part in out celebration.

Lastly, I did Pretzel delights . These are easy, quick and yummy. 

Curtis helped unwrap the Rollos.

Kirsten will be over in the morning and we will do some more!
