Nice to See StevieB: Cookies

By StevieB

Today [Ed. Note: This post originally appeared on Saturday, December 15 so do not go around bothering StevieB for cookies. They are certainly all eaten by now] truly is the most wonderful day in the year. AlthoughI am not necessarily saying that Andy Williams should suck my pink steel, forthis reason anyway, I do prefer today over the day that the silver-backed daddybear with the velvet fetish comes down my chimney.*

Today is Christmas cookie baking day!

Picture it. Denver. 1998. A tradition begins when a smallgroup of lifelong friends decide to get together in Frank’s recently remodeled kitchen to bake cookies.  One move across country, one kid, husbands, countless hairstyles, and jean sizes we’re still gathering to bake cookies.

During the passing of time I have gone from swimming in 34 size jeans, to squeezing into 38, then back to 34’s I still look forward to today every year. 

*So much for this blog post being a warm holiday greeting.
