I feel a little like this worried Santa asking his buddy, um, are we supposed to be ready now? Because I'm not. Dashed off to town this afternoon to get some red hots for gingerbread men buttons. Sold out everywhere I went- which was 4 shops, markets and groceries. The man at the dimestore candy counter suggested red Tic-Tacs. Mmmmm, gonna pass on those, but thanks. More white icing I guess. Hoping everyone is better prepared than I am. Just send over your extra red hots when you're done, and those silver dragees too. From one Santa to another, thanks! xoC

Your Santas are so cute!
ACK! I'm not done either and I'm all in a dither.
If your gingerbread men are life size teehee, I can offer you peppermint sandwich cookies and peppermint bark from Trader Joe's - I had these delusions of grandeur that I was going to get some baking and candy making done. Nuh uh. Not going to happen. It's beginning to look like I'll be lucky to get the wrapping done in time - presents may just be going nude this year. :)
Wishing you red hots aplenty and a yummy Christmas!

I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year. I enjoy your blog often and thank you for sharing so many things with your visitors. I came to your blog after the loss of an old rescue dog we had adopted and it was around the same time Audrey passed. I somehow found a link to your Jake's sad passing. Both blogs helped me recover from losing Boomer. That meant a lot to me, so thank you...thank you.
