It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like...

    Although the snow isn't here (yet), it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  Most of the Christmas shopping is finished, Kenny put our Christmas tree up and I spent the evening making Christmas cookies.  Later this week we will drag out all of the ornaments, and the rest of the Christmas decorations.  I am a Christmas tree freak.. I love to have different themes.  I have 2 large trees AND 3 small trees.  Once I get them all up I will post some photos. 

   When we visit the cabin, I almost always go to the "junk store" (aka resale store) in Ireland, Indiana.  And I love to buy cookie tins.  This evening I whipped up a few batches of sugar cookies, decorated them and stuck them into some of my tins.  Yes... this is not all of them.  I enjoy collecting them.  AND, if those who receive some play nice I should receive my tins back with some other goodies inside.  I know I can count on Chef Ronald to come through with something for us.  Here is a picture of some of my tins.

And what do you do with cookies that turn out a little too brown or deformed?  You save it for your dog of course!  Ok...1 small sugar cookie will be okay OCCASIONALLY, but all of that sugar is not good for your dog so keep it to a small amount.  I don't want to be responsible for someone's dog getting sick.  

The Christmas season is in full swing.  Take it in, because it will be long gone before we know it.  I am already beginning to think about my New Year's resolutions since 2012 is right around the corner.  Happy Holidays readers! :-)
