So by now y'all know that I grew up in a military family, when my father retired we settled in a small town in North Carolina. The neighborhood my parents still live in was a great place to grow up, every year there would be a big Christmas party and you learned early on how to get a conversation going in a room full of strangers. The family that hosted this party would invite people from all over, people with no family in the area, people from their work, just people in general. I've never had any issues starting a conversation, and to some of you that's not a surprise, but keeping one going with strangers

COOKIES!!! This recipe came from my Mother-in-law and while I do an okay job with them, and they taste pretty much the same for some reason her's are better...and these Linzer Tarts go great with eggnog, so grab a mug and get to baking...almost a match made in heaven.
