I have no idea regarding the cookie in the contest. In Australia we don't go in for a lot of Christmas cookies. I mainly bake a rich Christmas cake, A Cherry cake, Plum pudding, Almond bread and I bake and ice Gingerbread for my grandchildren. I also make rum balls and apricot balls. That is about the extent of what I do.
I have my Christmas puddings on cooking today, I make several as I give some away for gifts. I have the fruit soaking for the fruit cakes. I make one for my daughter as well. I was going to attempt to make the cakes as well today but I am in too much back pain and will have to give them amiss until tomorrow. I still think I can do everything, but my back tells me different.

Oh wow! I hadn’t thought about all the traditional baking involved with Christmas traditions and how that translates to other areas of the world. Christmas is in the middle of your summer right? That must be brutal to do all that baking in the heat.

You reminded me of something else to add to my SS package. I have a special recipe that I bake for the holidays. I bake small loaves to hand out to friends during the holidays. This year one will go into my SS box. Sure hope you like it.
