With five days until the 25th, it better be looking a lot like Christmas! Today was the first day of holiday break for the monsters. Glenn and I are at work most of the week - well Glenn's at work more than me - but we were both very jealous of all of the sleeping in that was happening at the house this morning.
We are in the homestretch of the holiday preparations. Most of the presents have been purchased, but not wrapped. The house is so decorated that it's almost over-decorated. The baking is mostly done. The Christmas cards... well those are still on the to-do list. But we are just about ready.

| At the beginning of the month, I had to make some cookies for the Tea Room at Christmas House. I made an error in trying a new recipe for the first time. I found a recipe for rocky road cookies and it called for adding just one marshmallow to the dough before cooking. I didn't think that was enough so I added two marshmallows and then popped the cookies in the oven. When they came out, I realized that I had created some cute aliens. They still tasted delicious. |
