An early Eid al Fitr parcel

Yesterday, a package arrived securely at our address. We received it from a distant relative who lived across the island. The box is full to the brim with my favorite baked cookies.
There is nothing wrong with the chocolate one, but I'm not a fan of sweets in general. This one is more like a savory snack, and I prefer it. I loved it so much that I nearly finished it in one sitting 
We hadn't gotten an Eid al Fitr parcel in years, so getting one again was a delightful surprise 
What's your favorite cookie?

I don't really have a favorite cookie. I like just about all of them!! If it was homemade, I would say Oatmeal and Raisin. Otherwise, I like M&M's instead of chocolate chips. Those are getting hard to find in the stores around here lately.

@thehazehttps://www.mylot.com/comment/3505923/22738450/35897213#lsister Shipping is stalled in many cases. Truckers can't afford $1,000 fill ups. Our president is an idiot and stopped the pipeline from opening and has been importing oil from overseas.

@kareng That doesn't sound good. On the other hand, some domestic companies are contemplating exporting oil while people are having a hard time getting them due to soaring oil prices

That's too bad. It'd be great if you could get your favorite cookie easily 
I wonder why they get hard to find in stores around there lately?

Mine would be something with nuts. Do you give gifts to each other during this celebration?

Oh, I love cookies with nuts, too! Honestly, it's hard to choose which one I like the most 
Yes, you can call it a tradition

@thehazelsister Yes, last December at Christmas I also received several parcels, as well as at the beginning of the 2022 new year. I happen to be celebrating Christmas. I'm glad to know that you have also received the parcel ahead of Eid in 2022. hope you enjoy it.
