Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la

’Tis the season to be jolly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la

Here are a few Christmas treasures scattered here and there around our home.

On Monday, I’ll share our nativities.

Hopefully I’ll get some baking done next week. These are on my list.

These “melt in your mouth”. There is no other way to express it.

Russian Tea Cookies

1 C. butter
1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup nuts, finely chopped

Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla, flour, salt and nuts. Mix well. Form into small balls and flatten a bit. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 F  10-14 minutes. While still warm roll in powdered sugar. After cool, roll again in powdered sugar. Yields 3-4 dozen.

What is on your list for Christmas baking, if anything?
