It began last month when our local Whole Foods returned their delicious gingersnaps to their bakery. Then, a few days before Christmas, our neighbor knocked at our door, presenting me (Hania’s a celiac) with a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies. At Christmas Eve with our French neighbors, I received from the daughter a box of Girl Scout Tagalongs. Then Tuesday, our Alsatian friends handed us a gift bag containing a bottle of Gewurztraminer – made with grapes from the family vines – a box of French pralines, and a tin of homemade cookies.
