Xmas cookies

I finished 1 batch of Christmas cookies. I made sugar cookies cut out into candy cane, gingerbread man, tree, and star. I mixed regular canned frosting with coloring and extracts from mint and lemon. I hope people enjoy them. I can't eat 4 dozen cookies by myself, I'll get sick of looking at them after a while. I ate one tonight. They are very good. Though the frosting was slow to dry on the cookies so they are a bit messy.

Later this week I plan on making gingersnaps and Hersey kiss cookies. But washing the dishes must be done first. Tomorrow I babysit while my sister goes to a doctor's appointment. My poor sister has had more than her fair share of health problems. This time she is blind in one eye from her high blood pressure. She describes it as holding tissue paper up to your eye and seeing perfectly out of the other eye. I saw a picture of a test she did that looks like Mars. The problem is the optic nerve being damaged, and not all the damage can heal. My poor sister.

I plan on taking my cookies to work Thursday as I pass out Christmas cards. Yes I am an early bird in the holiday arena. I get everything done ASAP so I can sit back and enjoy the rest of the holiday season without stress. Post later. Bye!
