Eat, drink and be merry, right? Which is what I was doing at the last family Christmas party I went to, enjoying the variety of cookies made by my many aunts, until a cousin says, haven't you had enough of those? Bah, humbug.
Thank you for posting this! It's exactly what I needed today. Still giggling.
Ha ha ha. We hear you. Got to love those family members! Enjoy yourself this holiday season!
