Preserve me...it's starting already.
The baking...the holiday baking.
I have a strong willpower usually...I am not one who likes sweets (I'm a crunchy salty snacker) and usually my only weaknesses at the holidays are my Mum's homemade nuts and bolts mix, my Mum-in-laws white chocolate covored pretzels (she uses belgian chocolate people)...and shortbread. I love shortbread. For some reason the melt in your mouth buttery goodness cannot be denied...I don't eat a lot of it, but I cannot see it and not have one.
*sigh*
A senior researcher just stopped by my lab with a giant box of shortbread cookies for the lab. I tried to smile and gracefully take 1. "Take 2!" he said "My wife made them"...and I did...they were so good...I at them both.
I'm doomed.

I adore shortbread too..it's like crack!
Despite the fact that eating it is the chemical equivalent of mainlining a couple hundred cc's of liquid butter into an artery, I don't give a tinker's cuss...
smack my bitch up foo!
Thanks for making salivate..damn!
I feel your pain, but I'm also a masochist -- I made peanut butter cookies last night. I don't know why. The BF's mother has started requesting the macaroons I made last year, and I'm putting my foot down that the real baking doesn't start until after Thanksgiving. I'm not on the department store schedule of Christmas before Halloween damnit!
I love shortbread! It's that buttery taste...
I too am more of a salty crunchy snacker, though I do also like sweets. But I think of, say, pancakes as a butter delivery system.
Whereas my hubby, who has a real sweet tooth, thinks of them as a syrup delivery system.
