holiday festivities can commence

Besides the decoration I put up last year for the holidays I've added another decoration, also from my Aunt Mary:

If you think it's strange to group mistletoe and turkish goat bells I feel sorry for your imagination

I think I'm going to leave it up permanently.

And she sent me these cookies that I love (even though I don't eat many sweets anymore). When I was a kid we used to call them "poop balls". So. Good.

Not sure what the real name of this cookie is. It's chocolate with walnuts.
