This, That, and the Other

COOKIES!!!!

Hey there!  It’s been a crazy few days — there was the making of the sugar cookies, followed promptly by the eating of the sugar cookies (see that sneaky little hand in the top of the photo?) followed by a fever pitched frenzy that I’m not sure we will survive.  I may need to find another cookie recipe, one with less…sugar.

The next few days promise to be just as exciting, so I may not post again for a bit.  But I promise to be back in January, with all kinds of exciting news and maybe even a contest or two.  In the meantime, a few of my favorite Christmas things for your pleasure:

I will be making these.  (Brilliant idea — replace sugar with … chocolate!) They are delicious, and I frequently hide the last few and eat them by myself.  (Shhhh.  Don’t tell.  They’re especially good for breakfast with tea.)

We watched this. Set during WWI, it’s an unexpected Christmas story, based on true events.  (In the interest of full disclosure, it’s subtitled, but worth it. And the trailer doesn’t do it justice.)

And finally, my very favorite Christmas video.  It makes me smile every year:

Happy Holidays!
