Christmas

I finally had a chance to do that holiday meme that was making the rounds recently.

( My Christmas quirks )

Thanks to Kath and Jana for the cards. They're hanging around the window in my dining room.

I'm always in the market for new recipes at this time of year. So, please share with me some of your favorite Christmas recipes. They can be for anything, but if you have a sugar cookie recipe that you particularly love, I'd love to have it. I haven't been hugely impressed with any of the ones that I've tried in the past couple of years. In return, I give you our favorite cookie recipe. They go by a variety of names (Russian Tea Cakes for instance), but in our house they've always been called Mexican Wedding Cookies for whatever reason.

1/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter (2 sticks softened to room temperature)
2 1/2 cup sifted flour
2 cups chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla

Combine ingredients and roll into small balls. Bake in a 275 degree oven for about one hour until lightly browned. Cool until you can handle them and then roll in powdered sugar. Enjoy!
