Ack! Beware of oncoming Christmas

jennlkI think I'm going to use that for the title of this year's Christmas letter. Which I haven't started yet. And won't until sometime Monday. Had two "um, sorry this is late, can you do a quick layout/turnaround?" projects that I just shipped off to recipients -- they took priority over something that's already late (I usually have the letter written by now, even if the cards aren't done).
Baking for 'xmas around the world' is almost complete. Russian Tea cakes and "Norwegian Macaroons" are baked (I have no idea what makes them 'norwegian'--they came from a church cookbook, and they're good, but norwegian?). The gingerbread dough is resting --there's not time to roll, cut, and bake before SR and I head off to Madrigal Dinner at the HS, so I'll get to those later. Neglected to start springerle yesterday, so no springerle for tomorrow. Will probably mix up a batch of lemon-cardamom cookies while the gingerbread is baking. Maybe some anise drop cookies (at least get the springerle flavor). Thought about spritz cookies, but I can't find the plates for my cookie press, which rather complicates the process. (Couldn't find my cookie cutters either, but I found Mum's, so that's OK.)
Tomorrow is all about music. And driving to/from a concert.
