Our decorations are up, my festive playlist is on almost constant repeat, and on Sunday I baked Christmas cookies. I went with this Alton Brown recipe, because Death’s Head trusts him implicitly (Alton has an appreciation for the science of cooking). I trust Alton mostly because he’s not Paula Deen, so I assume that he’s not trying to kill me.
Now we just need at a dusting of snow on the ground, and we’ll be all set.

You broke Grandpa Dan’s heart, you know, in baking these for Christmas instead of the Loveland Christmas cookies. Way to go, Chris. You killed him. Margi
Thanks for grinching up my post, Mum. Now that Christmas feeling has been replaced with guilt. Are you happy?!
