I love the holidays. That stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas is truly magical to me. I love the twinkling lights. I love the music. I'm one of those who listens exclusively to Christmas music from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. I love the hustle and bustle of shoppers in the city. Finding that perfect gift. Wrapping presents. I love holiday movies. Christmas Vacation. Love Actually. Miracle on 34th Street. I love the anticipation of no work. No school. Being with your closest family and friends. I love holiday food. Egg nog. Gingerbread. The Ritz crackers that come in the shape of snowflakes and the Oreo cookies dipped in white chocolate. Snow-reos...
Most of all I love baking holiday cookies! Rolling out the sugar cookie dough (we used this
recipe), getting covered in flour. Cookie-cuttering. Making snowmen and bells, stockings and stars. Eating the dough. Frosting them with red and green and sprinkles. No matter how ridiculous they turn out, they always look festive and taste delicious! And at the end of the night everyone has their favorite cookie that no one can eat...Mr. Snowman is mine.
