End of the Christmas Cookies?

Mary begged me to make one more batch- just one more she pleaded. Toady's was the last of the season- more Ginger Snaps!
This year's line up included Candy Cane Cookies, Peanut Blossoms, Sugar Cut-Outs with lots of icing, sprinkles, and cinnamons (see left), and Mary's favorite Ginger Snaps.
