Advent 2025 - Day 6

[wiseheart]

Happy St. Nicholas Day, everyone!

Assuming it is a tradition in your country, that is.

We had a nice little celebration today. My friend Elise came over to fetch her cookies (and contribute half the grocery store as ingredients), so I made an alcohol free punch (she came by car), consisting of orange tea, apple juice and various Christmas-style spices. It was very nice, and we sampled some of my baked goods, too.

Other than that, I've decorated the pistachio stars, took down the dried washing, put away some baking tools and ingredients that won't be needed for the last leg of the baking marathon and tried to gather my strength for tomorrow's cleaning. That promises to be brutal - I've been very lazy in that area lately. But needs must and all that.

Oh, and many heartfelt thanks to meathiel for the lovely Christmas card!

Oh ... the mail service was faster than I gave it credit for!

That sounds like a lovely get together with your friend. I hope she was suitably impressed with your baked offerings.

I'm afraid mine won't arrive in time — I still haven't posted them. But it will come, eventually.

It was! :)

Oh, she always is. She's a lovely person, with five grandchildren, an ill father and a... difficult mother-in-law, all of whom are counting in her, so she's so very grateful she doesn't have to bother with the Christmas baking, too.
