Yesterday, when I was out buying breakfast and newspapers, my usual newspaper vendor got me to try some Chinese New Year cookies. They were delicious so I ordered some. That means cookie buying is settled. Yahoo! I told the kids about it and they were very happy looking forward to eating those Chinese New Year cookies and delicacies that they remembered.
I don’t normally plan my cookie buying very well. Usually, I just grab whatever I can last minute from the supermarket. 😛 That usually leaves me undesirables. So, I am happy to be able to order some in advance this year. Hopefully, they taste as good as the samples. Usually I just get the standard fare like in the picture. Those were from last year if I am not mistaken. I would get just 4-5 varieties at the most. Otherwise, if they are not finished, guess who has to finish them? Yeah, me and my expanding waistline.
I wrote on my Parenting Times blog that I am trying to create excitement for my kids for Chinese New Year. In doing so, I find that, not only the kids but I too am feeling some building excitement. lol.
i havent bought mine. dont know if i need it or not.. 🙂
Yes, most ppl get the chance to “escape” so they don’t need cookies but I still like to get some for the kids. 🙂
I havent done a single thing to prep up for the coming CNY! Oh dear….
