[flickr id=”8276894702″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”small” group=”” align=”left”]I don’t know how I end up doing this to myself every year.

I swear I’ll pick “only a few”.

But then a new recipe pops up.

Or an old favorite is demanded (begged for).

And suddenly dozens of cookies in 5, 6, 7 different variations are accumulating on my table.

I’m on day 4.

I’ve got at least one day left.

If I don’t come out – send in the troops.
