Chai Spiced Gingerbread Cookies

Cheeriest Season Greetings!

How are you, friends?! How are you?! Can you BELIEVE we've only TWELVE days until Christmas?!

(Sigh of bliss. Sigh of exhaustion.)

Have your children yet discovered their Christmas stash? Have all the candy canes on your tree been eaten, or smashed to smithereens upon the carpet? Have you visted a store "real quick," only to stand in a line that was "real slow"? Have you drank the dregs of the cider pot? Slowed down over steaming hot cocoa? Smiled at strangers? Pulled a warm quilt over you family, turned the fire up to 'crackling' and taken time to read this or this? I hope this season is not getting the best of you. Rather, that it's making the best of you. Of me. Of all of us.

I'm blogging today as She Three over at OneSheTwoShe. CLICK HERE to read about my Christmas wish and to find my recipe for Chai Spiced Gingerbread Drop Cookies.

Speaking of Cookies...

Uh, wow. I can't believe Christmas is only 12 days away. Crazy. I warmed up with some hot cocoa earlier. :)

Those cookies sound delightful!
Scribbles n' Such do have such colourful fun things, I think my favourite has to be the Forever Retro design.

I love the Birthday postcards! I always want to be "one of those people" who remember birthdays, but can never seem to get to the store on time to send a card. The post cards are a great thing to have on hand and drop in the mail or in a bag of yummy cookies!
