The official kickoff to the Most Wonderful Time of the Year was today -- our annual visit to the Cookie Walk at a local Catholic church. It's snowing here today, so we braved unplowed roads to get there. We were psyched that we got there in time to hear the 8 a.m. bells. (It wasn't as idyllic as last year, when the snowflakes were large, fluffy and gently falling -- it was small and pelting.) We try really hard not to pick up any that have peppermint in them, because they "contaminate" the ones around them, but I managed to get one that was. Fortunately it was near the top and G pulled it out as soon as we got home. We came home with about 5 1/2 pounds of cookies (and we're taking bets as to how long they last ... ).
