god jul!

★ MIL asked me to make goodies for Wax's family's Christmas

★ I've decided to make the most of this by making things I want (English trifle, pb/chocolate cups, cinnamon rolls, sugar cookies)

★ But I'm not too confident when it comes to making Wax's family's favorite types of candy

★ We still have to do a bit of Christmas shopping, and it has to be tomorrow

★ They're predicting -30°C here & we have to travel to MIL's, overnight, with the pets. The dog has to go outside like 6 times a day these days. She lives on the 3rd floor and doesn't have an elevator. Perry's afraid of her stairs because you can see the floor between them. -_-

Jul being a cognate for Yule?

Yep.

Perhaps you could make your wonderful exotic candy instead of the familiar ones which have to be done a certain way or they are just wrong. That would take the pressure off you.

I don't make candy. I haven't, I mean. I'm more of a baker. Restricted to the wonderful world of cookies and cakes by habit and design. I may give them a try anyway, I don't know yet.
