Holiday Tradition: Baking Marathon

Every year my family descends upon my father's house in what I call "the family invasion." They come on the 27th, and, in honour of that, I spend all Boxing Day baking goodies so we have something to munch on (we're a big family).
This year I made scones and cinnamon rolls from family recipes, and then molasses cookies (the soft ones) from a nightmare of a recipe that I will NEVER repeat, and, finally, these deliciously different German cookies called "pfeffernusse," (you can find lots of recipes for them on the internet; that's where I found one).
I literally had mountains of baked goods by the end of it.

Just one of my mountains 

The pfeffernusse take longer to make, but they're fun to make,
and so yummy!!!!

I had lots of compliments tonight on my baking, and it was certainly a delicious night because, in addition to all my hard work, my father made homemade bread, seafood chowder, and beef stew.
I love Christmas eating!!
