It's the most wonderful time of the year.

As you may have guessed from my post yesterday, on Monday I started baking cookies for this year's Cookie Party, my thirteenth annual. Above is a shot of the haul from my Costco shopping trip for ingredients on Saturday. I bought pounds and pounds of nuts, sugar, butter, peanut butter, etc. This is serious.

(Last year's bounty.)
