glitter, garland, and gluttony

Today just might be cookie day. I have been putting it off long enough so that I can still have some left for Christmas. Funny how I was super excited to get all my decorations up like a month ago but put those off because I thought it might be too early, and now they are piled up on the floor with glitter spilling EVERYWHERE (Seriously, my living room looks like the inside of a strip club). Lesson learned, decorate when you have the ambition to do it! Also, it is never too early to decorate for Christmas. I mean really why do we put so much time and effort into decorations if we are only going to have then up for a few weeks? That 30 feet of garland I have strung across the living room is not coming down for at least a month dammit! So I think a double recipe of Ethel's Sugar Cookies is in order for today. I am not sure if it's all the Martha Stewart I have been watching, or the hunger for sugar that is driving me, but either way cookies are getting baked.
