I always wondered how these traditions got started.

LOL! on the edibles being consumed by our doggies! :D No way anything like that gets on our tree, either. I even put only non-breakables from my waist down on a tall tree, so Mika doggie doesn't create a lot of breakage... :P Oh, YUM! on the Marzipan. Love those little goodies and they look so pretty, too! :)

I've never had a Marzipan, but they are in my romance novels from the 1600's and I've always wondered what they were and how you made them.

Yes, they are almond flavored. Very yummy and very rich! :P
