Afternoon tea with Christmas cookies
Little pre Christmas gift of homebaked cookies. Can't let them go stale!
Oh yes, shortbread must be eaten right away. Giggled when I saw the pig though - is there a particular significance to that I wonder. Not that ANY of us would make pigs of ourselves choking down shortbread. Ahem.
Yes, I wondered about that. But my cleaning family are Czech and I think the pig is a lucky symbol for them at the holidays. You get candy pigs etc.. That's my story anyway.
Please read the comments before yours and see if your question is already answered! I've reluctantly deleted the anonymous option, because it was being abused.
What a thoughtful gift. Best get them eaten right away!
ReplyDeleteNo problem there! They were lovely. Very delicate.
