I am Angie Dobson, reviewer
for LoveRomancesandmore. I spend most of time being a mom to a 9 month old
girl, who is getting ready for her first Christmas and her first international
trip to spend the holidays with our family in England! I also
work full time in the office of a gift shop manufacturer - can we say chaos this
time of year? I am also a rep for a direct sales company called Lindt
Chocolates - but enough about my day to day life, let's talk about my favorite
things for this post!
What is your favorite holiday
food and why?
Cookies! For me it is about
tradition – my Grandma begins making them in early October and often is still
baking as we get ready for midnight Mass on Christmas Eve! She makes no less than 20 different kinds –
some of which take days! And then there
is the quantity required for our family to each take home enough to share with
friends and family… She does about 20 dozen of each kind! From snowballs, to cherry winks, to peanut
butter balls, she does it all, by hand. My absolute favorite cookie is the
snickerdoodle, simple yet yummy.
You can have any person in
history over for your holiday dinner. Who do you invite and what do you talk
about?
I would be inclined to invite Jim Hensen. He invented the Cookie Monster! This is currently my daughter’s favorite
character and she just waves and grins every time “C is for Cookie” comes on her
radio! If I could invite Cookie Monster,
he would also be joining our table this year!
I think he may become a holiday favorite in our house since in my book
Christmas is about cookies and the traditions we
follow.
Angie, Yes, the cookie tradition. My grandma spent a December day in the kitchen with me and my brother, I did it with my kids and now my daughter sets aside a day in December for her and her children to blend, stir,bake and sample a wide variety of cookies. Thanks for your comment and the memories it stirred.
ReplyDeleteWow...I am now an official fan of your Grandma! Oh, and Jim Henson was such a genius.. Such a loss to the world--taken too soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays Regan and Angie!
Oh, what a wonderful post! Angie, I love your tradition and your guest was truly a visionary. You conjure up such a cozy picture, between the cookies and the memories and the Lindt...thank you for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteRegan, your blog is wonderful and I wish you both a very Holly Jolly season!
Hugs,
Regina
Oh, how sweet. Even in his fifties, my brother loved the Cookie Monster and all the muppet creations.
ReplyDeleteYou really have a lot on your plate. My best to you and hope it is a wonderful first Christmas for your daughter.
