Did you know Christmas is 3 weeks away from Sunday? Not the one coming up. The one that just happened.

I'm in a panic but in the mean time I have a cookie exchange. Gasp! I have to come up with 12 dozen baked delights.

{1} What is your favorite cookie to eat?

{2} Have you ever done a cookie exchange?

{3} How are you doing on your holiday shopping?

{4} What is your holiday shopping style? (A little at a time, or power shopper? Early in the season or last minute? Online or part of the crowd?)

And a random seasonal 3 part question...
{5} Light displays...do you put them on your house? What is your style and your fave kind to see?

______________________________

here are my answers...

{1} What is your favorite cookie to eat? i have to pick just one? hmmm. my chocolate chip cookie recipe is the BOMB. i also heart Molasses and Russian tea balls. Oh and spritz. all delightful. some are more labor intensive than others.

{2} Have you ever done a cookie exchange? I'm a cookie exchange virgin! Thursday night is my first one. baking 12 dozen cookies is daunting.

{3} How are you doing on your holiday shopping? oh geeze! I've started but holy crap, this is when having 7 kids is painful. I have more to get but the budget is lacking.

{4} What is your holiday shopping style? (A little at a time, or power shopper? Early in the season or last minute? Online or part of the crowd?)

I start my major shopping and get the bulk of it done on black Friday, so that's a power shopper. the money flows like water as soon as i step foot in a store.

I'm an in store girl. I rarely buy anything online.

And a random seasonal 3 part question...
{5} Light displays...do you put them on your house? What is your style and your fave kind to see?

so far we have no lights up, and my pre-lit garlands don't light now, so i'll be lucky if i get one up over the front door.

i LOVE really well done displays (perfectly spaced and tasteful)

and

super tacky ones(over the top, griswald style a hundred light up statues in the yard or on the roof lights on every inch, brighter than daylight displays).

also

the sight of a string of lights stringing from the corner of the house to a tree 5 feet away in the yard (we call it "a stringer") brings a certain gladness to my heart.

equal glee can be had at the sight of a random line of lights dangling from the eaves to empty space (thus named "the dangler").

delightful.

well peeps, link up. tell me about your fave cookie and your shopping and lighting display preferences.
