Manic Monday with Mo ~ Tuesday Heads or Tails

This is one of those incredibly uncreative combination posts…a late Manic Monday with Mo (it’s a blog eat blog world)…and an early Heads or Tails with Barb (skittles place). I’m gonna convince myself I can combine Carol and a Memorable Gift in a moderately successful manner. I spent the entire past three days making Christmas cookies. We played (and sang) Christmas Carols…watched Christmas movies and football….baked a gazillion cookies. It was truly a gift to have my family around…for one of our most arduous and delicious Christmas traditions.

How about a little Christmas Carol Jam Session?


Go Tell It On A Mountain (of butter)


Rolling….Rolling….Rolling On the Counter
(okay…not really a carol)


Hark The Herald Angels Sing


secret family recipes passed on to younger generations are truly a gift.


It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Frosty The Snowman

Here Comes Santa Claus…Here Comes Santa Claus

(the artist’s pallet has many colors…)



Let It Snow…Let It Snow…Let It Snow…




Oh Tannenbaum


Deck The Halls With Boughs of Holly


These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
we WATCH Sound of Music at Christmas…
(shh...don't tell Jeff)



gifts waiting to be wrapped


ummm…okay…which ones are mine…

Did I see a snowman with green feet?

Marilyn said...

Cookies are performance enhancing... I think. And Jeff needs to eat more cookies, then he might appreciate a good movie.

This was a very fun post. Great job!

Travis Cody said...

I'd say that combination post went very well.

And can I be an honorary member of the clan for a day so I can lick the yummy bowls?

JAM said...

Wow, all of these look amazing. I'll bet your house smelled heavenly as well.

Julie said...

WOW! Very impressive! I used to make 12-15 different types of cookies....I did maybe 5 this year.
