Thanks to the anonymous benefactor who gave me my first virtual snowflake cookie of the day, as well as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tartanshell and izhilzha for supplying the others. Very fitting on a day when we're getting our first real snowfall of the season here in southwestern Ontario...
I hear that there are storms a-brewing to the south, but at present the snow is drifting from the sky in a picturesque fashion, and the green is still showing through the powder, and I think I shall put on some seasonal music* and make a cup of tea. I might even do some baking -- Snickerdoodles, perhaps.

* That would be actual Christmas carols with some dignity and meaning to them, not the annoying ditties that pass for inoffensive seasonal content.

(And I don't know that song anyway, so it couldn't have bothered me. )
I would love that chocolate mint chocolate chip cookie recipe if you're willing to share it! I agree about the Christmassy-ness of mint and chocolate. Mmm.
