This Morning My Mom Insisted I Open A Package From Arizona To Find A Plethora Of Christmas Cookies

I called my mom and dad this morning to let them know that a package from Arizona had arrived.

My mom asked about the package delivery soon after answering the phone.

When I said I had not yet opened the package mom told me I needed to open it at once, because the box was full of stuff which needed to be eaten.

So, after getting off the phone I opened the box and what to my wondering eyes appeared? A selection of the greatest hits of my mom's Christmas cookies.

The box contained the assortment you see in the foreground, plus a sub-box full of gingersnap cookies, plus the fruitcake hovering above the boxes.

I have never understood some people's aversion to fruitcake. I have always liked fruitcake. Maybe it is my mom's fruitcake I have always liked and that I have never been exposed to the type fruitcake to which people have an aversion.

Due to my mom's macular degeneration my dad acts as mom's sous chef for cooking operations.  I suspect maybe my sister was part of this cookie cooking operation. Though I have seen my mom and dad in cooperative cooking mode and it is an impressively efficient operation.

I may be going into a form of diabetic shock in the coming day or two. I am not used to eating dessert type sugary stuff.....

You need a really thoughtful friend who can help you eat some of this stuff and help share the burden of possible Type 2 diabetes.

Anonymous, if that is really your name, are you volunteering for cookie consumption duty?

MLK, Merry Christmas to you too. So far I have gotten in to the pecan cup or tart or whatever it is called and the raspberry almond cup or tart or whatever it is called. So far I have not detected any serious blood sugar issues...

I love fruitcake of all kinds. One of my favorite is the fruitcake cookies.

Connie, a cookie monster wreaked havoc with the Xmas cookie collection. All that remains is peanut brittle, ginger snaps and that fruitcake. I'll bring the fruitcake with me to your glazed Christmas ham dinner tomorrow...
