flour baptism

Tomorrow Mrs. Santa will be baptized with an assortment of flour, butter and pie filling. Her assistant and 5 elves, ranging in ages from 5 to 12, arrive at 9 AM prepared to concoct spritz cookies and chess pies…I know because she told me as she instructed me in the prepping of pie dough, an equal mixture of butter and flour. There will be an ensuing cleanup of flour, sugar, dough and pie filling from the table, floor and oven if all goes as it has in the past. If Disney’s mice could be here, they would help. Only time will tell how many cookies make it to the oven and how many survive after the oven so that Santa may have one…or two?
