Too many cookies...
Shifting for myself while I was home alone, I made many, many cookies. The last ones were cut-out cookies... but I couldn't overcome my inertia to get around to frosting them. So I wrapped them up and set them on the counter until I could force myself into it...
Today, Mom and I finally made a couple batches of frosting and set out to decorate 49 cookies. But you can only do so many before inspiration wears out. I mean, how many ways are there to decorate Santa? After three, it gets hard to be creative. So you begin to get things like "Island Snowman" and "Biker Santa" :

wow. Are we all baking cookies this holiday season? hahahaha! Those are great designs. :) I've been frosting cookies also, but it is more the sort of frosting you swirl on the top to give a little extra tang to the spicy sorts of cookies.
Anyway, I'm lookin' forward to New Year's. :)

I really cannot wait to see you and show my "humble abode." In the meantime may you have a blessed Christmas with all of your family (you too Sarah).

LOL 'Biker Santa' I love it! None of my 200 plus cookies were nearly so inspirational:-) Hopefully gingerbread houses will provide more food for ehem thought. Merry Christmas!

So far I've avoided making cookies, but my esteemed soror spent a whole day at them. I cleaned house instead. :-)

I abstained from cookie making... and instead ended up making my family a multi-course mediterranean supper. *sigh*
My mom would like the island snowman.
