“O Christmas treats, O Christmas treats, How wondrous is that marzipan!” is what I’m singing in my head as I eye the seasonal goodies crowding the shelves of my favorite specialty stores.
Pandemic or not, it feels like a good time to be alive when the marzipan and imported marzipan-filled stollen loaves start appearing. This year perhaps more than any other being able to gaze upon these traditional treats sends a wave of joy rolling in my heart. Seriously.
No doubt it’s because the sight reassures me that some things really do endure, plus it evokes all the happy Christmases in my past when long-departed loved ones were still around the holiday table and nobody had even heard of COVID-19.
