The Christmas jam for today is All I Want for Christmas is You. I fell in love with this song in middle school, sixty some-odd years ago. Okay, it was only 1994 but it seemed forever ago. This is a Glee cover sang by Amber Riley. I may or may not have danced like a crazy person when I saw it on the album. So, yeah...enjoy.
Okay, let's get down to business. I love cookies. Let's just get more specific and say that I love to make/decorate/eat Christmas cookies. Recently, I stumbled across an extremely easy extremely easy "NO SIT" sugar cookie recipe and it works--tastes--marvelously. My decoration skills, however, are not up to par. To be fair, we didn't have ALL of the decor we could have had...just sprinkles and icing.
These were my absolute best. I figured out how to use the flower tip thinga-ma-jig. Don't judge, you totally know what I'm talking about.

| They aren't the best looking cookies...but they were yummy. If you look closely, one looks like....no, never mind, it just looks like a horribly decorated cookie. |

| We got tired of poor decoration skills so we just slathered on the good stuff and tossed down the sprinkles for a distraction. Also, I'm not sure what's going on with the red ginger bread man up there. I don't remember putting four eyes on his face... |
