The first batch of Christmas cookies is currently in the oven. I'm making my favorite Christmas cookie....snowballs. I love those delicate little powdered sugared cookies. I look forward to making them every year. My boyfriend's favorite is gingerbread! Although when it comes to Christmas cookies or cookies in general he's not picky! I think he's gotten used to not getting gingerbread cookies until Valentine's day. The last 2 Christmases I haven't had the time to dedicate to gingerbread cookies. They need to be rolled out and decorated. So the last 2 Valentine's days he's received a goodie box containing gingerbread cookies. It's kind of nice that way and extra fun to focus only on those cookies for him at that time.
Next week will be a very BIG week for me. I plan on finishing up my Christmas gift shopping. Plus I plan on doing a ton of baking. I just hope I can accomplish all I want to.
Yesterday, I went to purchase some cookie tins to fill then give away. The cashier at Target questioned why I was purchasing so many tins. She didn't question it in a rude way, she was simply curious. I think this is the first time I've ever had this complaint that I'm about to mention.....where's all the good wrapping paper? I have yet to find a good selection. I saw Justin Bieber wrapping paper, definitely not buying that! I saw way over priced and too fancy looking for wrapping paper. And then I saw some just non exciting designs. There was one design that had a cute moose with a Christmas train theme, the Christmas Express. Seemed cute enough but on second glance I noticed they changed the wording from "Christmas Express" to "Christmoose Express". I didn't like the wordplay with the word "Christmas". The word Christmas to me should never be altered! Just my opinion. I know it was just wrapping paper and a cute moose/train theme but still I didn't appreciate the wordplay. Needless to say I'm still in search of Christmas paper.
