Best Holiday Sugar Cookies #christmas #Cookies

Every yr I try and get an early start on the holidays, and every 12 months they hit me smack in the face like an 18 wheeler full of potatoes. (there may be no importance to the potatoes...it changed into just the heaviest component I could think of.) 

I do not know how it happens, however it does.

There are in order that many stuff to bake, foods to photograph, offers to buy and then wrap and holiday parties to attend. the other day, things had been so loopy, I even forgot to devour. just did not do it.   

You pay attention people say this all the time. "i was simply so busy, I completely forgot to eat." And because i'm continuously thinking about meals, i used to be usually like ummm, you're a liar. meals > the whole thing. 

However then it came about to me. Awkward.
