Day 54: For me, the holiday season begins on St. Nicholas' Day, December 6, and it is observed by baking one of two types of cookie, usually spritz. Sometimes, I start off with sandies (aka Russian tea cakes), but they are something that I occasionally make at other times in the year. Spritz are only made for the holidays. While other people make spritz (and usually for Christmas parties), I happen to think mine are the best. Why? Because I don't skimp on those sugar sparkles. My mother used to say that a thing worth doing ws worth doing well, and I firmly believe that applies to dipping buttery, rich spritz in crystalline sugar. Go whole hog, or don't bother going! Otherwise, today also marks when I start decorating the house...but first I think I'll have a nap to sleep off all that sugar.
