Frosty the Snowman.......

I'm so excited that Christmas is on it's way.  I am not however looking forward to any cold weather that may be headed my way. 

I mean I'm New Orleans to the core.  I live for SUNSHINE.

I'm a halter top kinda girl.  I don't want bulky sweaters and knitted hats.  

A friend texted me earlier to let me know it's supposed to freeze tonight.  Maybe she thinks I don't watch the weather......or  maybe she thinks that I may actually go out and cover my plants (she should know better)...

BUT... now that I am aware that it's going to be too cold for me to leave the house tomorrow.  

I will be inside....

with the heater cranked up....

in my halter top.  

I mean who the heck wants to go out in the freezing cold weather.  

Well I made you some cookies......some Snowman cookies.  Frosty apparently rolled into town tonight, so I thought I'd put him in the oven and warm him up.....

I just used a

snowman head

cookie cutter.  I wanted him to match my tree decorations so I did his hat in turquoise. Then added a bit of disco dust while the icing was still wet.  A little pink luster dust on the cheeks and he was all done. 

Visions of Sugarplums.....

Ok I don't know about you but I'm ready for Christmas.  I've already started putting up my tree. I know it's a bit early, but hey, it's what I want....so it's ok. I say I STARTED putting up my tree because it didn't get further then taking out all the lights to find they didn't work.

 Oh yeah, you know what I mean.

 I never use the lights from the year before because of this reason here! Seriously, who the heck wants to go through every light to see which one is burned out? And by the time you find the right one and change it, you've lost your festive mojo.

Well NOT this year. When I took them out and they didn't work, I

asked

told my husband to fix them. When his two days passed and they were untouched.......I went and bought new ones. I know it's a bit wasteful, but look I'll donate the ones to the needy or something. Fair enough? I just couldn't wait any longer to get started on my tree.

 I mean HELLO....Christmas will be here quick.

And I'll have nothing decorated....there will be loud ugly crying because let's be honest,  I'm an ugly crier and the entire Christmas spirit will be ruined.

So in the "festive" mood that I was in and unable to decorate a tree.....I made you Christmas cookies.

Have any of you started your decorating your tree? What about Christmas cookies....you started making those? Come out the closet and do tell....I know you're secretly baking Christmas things and you just don't wanna tell. Tell me.....I can keep a secret....well kinda.
