Yesterday was an all day cookie session; by the time I had all the plates arranged and ready to deliver I was too exhausted to consider it. When I asked in yesterday's blog if anyone had an answer to ending a tradition, my ever creative niece gave me an idea.
Why should I churn out dozens of cookies at Christmas time to let my neighbors know I appreciate them? Why not spread it out over the year? Sarah was talking about doing her news letter in January instead of December, but why could't I pick one neighbor a month, for example, and bake a treat for them then? That sounds like much more fun to me and we all get too much sweet stuff at once now.
So I am going to set up a calendar for the 9 months I'm here and not go t hru this mass production thing again.
Part of this frustration is the awareness that I can't stand on my feet all day in the kitchen anymore. Why do I have to get daily messages that I am getting older? All right, already...I know it!

Choosing a neighbor/friend once a month to be a recipient of your favorite homemade sweets seems a bit more personal too. This way everyone doesn't get the same treats as everybody else.
Make sense to me~~
This sounds like a wonderful idea!
why only 9 months, I know someone who would really like cookies in January
