On the 6th day of Christmas...

...my true love gave to me BRAND NEW PAMPERED CHEF STONEWARE!!!! So of course on Friday I had to make cookies so I could use it. Looking back on my childhood I remember making Christmas cookies as being a very fun, stress free experience. As an adult it was the exact opposite. The first batch I made I used Charlene's recipe (hers are delicious and actually taste Christmasy) but the dough didn't turn out, it was the consistency of peanut butter which is not what you want for cut out cookies. So I started over and used my great grandma's recipe and after a few trial and error cookies I finally got it right! It took me 2 hours to make the cookies and another hour to clean up my kitchen. I guess its common knowledge that you are supposed to tip basically everyone around Christmas time. I didn't know this until about 2 years ago and have never done it until this year. Since I don't think it would be safe to just leave money out I'm going to leave our garbage men, recycle men, and mail lady a nice Christmas treat. (no I didn't give them the yucky cookies. I picked out the best of the best for them)

This is what happens at Saturday night dinners. Dance off!

The better cookies

The treats I will leave out in the morning
