Made my first batch of holiday fudge last night; F brought a big container of it to share with her D&D group this afternoon.
I used to make five or six varieties every December to give out. Haven’t done that in a couple of years. Not feeling it again this year.
That said, I’ll make more regular fudge and some ube fudge, and make some candied almonds. Maybe a batch of cookies. All pretty simple. But I’m not getting ambitious like I have in the past.
Generally pretty low energy this season. Hard to tell if it’s related to physical health, grief, or depression — or all three.
I look forward to having Christmas come and go, leaving that “dead week” through New Year’s Day without all the holiday pressure. At least I have something to look forward to.
