{the elves have retired}

Sugar Cookies 2010 4

…yes, you can, in fact, get sick of the smell of baking butter and sugar.

After a flurry of baking, this Elf has retired. I write to you from an Undisclosed Location, to wish you a peaceful, restful, satisfying and reflective holiday season. May you have friends and family all around when you want them to be close, and may you have a small, warm, EMPTY OF PEOPLE room full of books, gingersnaps, and hot tea when you’d like it.

Merriment to you.
