These cookies are GOOD. They're like the Stella D'oro Swiss Fudge cookies -- almondy shortbread cookies with fudge on top. I haven't made the fudge part yet, but the cookie part is really good. And the cookie press is fun, but I think it'll be a pain to clean.

Because books.
Liese, I ran to the Christmas music service at church, but if you're still looking, these paper ornaments and these snow ... thingies are super easy and pretty and cheap.
There are a lot of other ideas linked on those pages, too.

If you have more than one person, I'd say a cab is definitely the way to go. And, as far as I know, there's no need to estimate a cab, it's a flat rate from JFK to Manhattan.
ETA: The subway is possible, but to the UES it would be a pain and take forever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My father just told me he supposed I only liked Christmas music like The Little Drummer Boy that wasn't religious.
Uh, pops? Way to a) not know my tastes and b) not know The Little Drummer Boy. Yet? He was right that I liked it.
Cookie presses are way fun. Mine came with a great chocolate mint recipe, and I don't even like mint.

Coming in Saturday PM, leaving Monday AM. The hotel guy made it sound like it could take 2-3 hours from JFK.
Flat rate? So hopefully, then $40+tip.

My first trip to Manhattan, I got roped into a gypsy cab ride--sharing with another guy and they charged me the full $40. I was literally taken for a ride. Nobody warned me.

Depends on what the traffic is like in Mid Town. It's probably just over an hour in good traffic but weekend nights, yeah, I could see a two hour trip.

Cookies are done. I need to finish packing boxes that need to go in the mail tomorrow, but instead I'm watching White Christmas. And I want a nap, though at 4pm that seems wrong.
