Etiquette

What should you do when someone specifically requests a special dish or cookie over Christmas? I usually oblige reasoning that they like what I make and it will make both them and me happy to do it. But, this year, I'm having trouble getting things done since I am not home much. So, right now, I am doing laundry, running the dishwasher, blogging, making a list of salad fixings and baking snowball cookies while trying to ignore Chuckles whining in his crib (one hour is not a long enough nap, young man). Oven is pre-heated...gotta run.
