Christmas Cookies

I don't care what you all say...or what my husband says :)...country Christmas music is the best. I am not an avid country music fan, although I like it, but country Christmas music...sigh...sentimental, corny, funny, cheery. The best!

You know that George Strait song, "Christmas Cookies" ?...totally cheesy I know. But when I am making Christmas sugar cookies it sure is hard not to sing that silly song.

 I sure do like those Christmas cookies...sugar.
mmm...mmmm...

 I sure do like those Christmas cookies...babe.
 The ones like look like Santa Claus...
 Christmas trees and bells and stars.

  I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe.
 ...sometimes she'll wait till I'm asleep. She'll take the ones I didn't eat.
 And put those little sprinkly things on top.

 Now those sprinkly things just makes things worse
 Cause it makes them taste better than they did at first

 And they're absolutely impossible to resist. 

Ha ha...love that song. :)
 My kids "helped" decorate which means that they really just frosted a few and promptly ate them. :) Once my 2 year old figured out that you had to eat the broken ones. He would get a new one out and immediately announce, "Op. Broken Mommy!" and then eat it.

Here is one my 5 year old was able to frost and not eat...although he licked his fingers like a million times so I still can't give it away. Oh well...more for us.

I hope you all are enjoying the season, baking, shopping, and spending time with family and friends!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

and that's why I eat Christmas cookies aallll year long.

We love that song around here, and in fact, before I even read your post I thought, "Now I have that song stuck in my head." My hubby sang it at 3 different Christmas parties where he was asked to play at, with his guitar. It is cheesy, but fun.

Yours look great! I have yet to make any because I've been sick. Blah. Hopefully this week!!!

I spent the weekend baking as well! Yay! Your cookies look great! You are so lucky you have all of that room to spread out...I'm stuck in a tiny kitchen for now! But at least I have that right!

So I just stumbled across your blog when I was looking at another blog and I saw your picture and thought, hey! I know her!!! I love your ideas. You are so talented and I love the pictures you take of your boys. I'm going to save your blog to my list so I can continue to see all of your great ideas. Merry Christmas!

I love the peppermint candies on the cookies! Once my hubby and I made a cake topped with something similar.
