I made a  huge batch of gingerbread this Sunday, to take home to my parents. I tried to make them look less…uh…blinding than the last batch I made (see picture #2). I think gingerbread cookies are my favourite Christmas treat. What’s yours?

1. Festive cupcakes! (I’m liking the tiny red gingerbread man.)

2. Gingerbread…apparently decorated by a child on a sugar high.

3. Proper mulled wine.

4. Choc-peppermint donuts, endorsed by Santa himself.

5. And, of course, a hefty Christmas dinner.

I was very sad to leave out candy canes and mince pies, let alone the selection of Greek Christmas sweets and biscuits that I grew up with. Ah well, next year.
