Feels like Christmas

The Baklava has been made and "Christmas Vacation" has been watched.  It feels more like Christmas now!

I have been making or assisting in making Baklava since I was old enough to use a knife.  This was before the time of food processors that grind up the nuts.  (What a marvelous invention that was!)  We would all have our cutting boards and knives and would spend hours chopping walnuts and pecans. Of course, I dreaded the chopping every year but now it just doesn't feel like Christmas without it.  Good memories!
