    Those cookies are a hoot. I bought an ugly sweater cookie kit for my brother's family last year and now I wish I'd have bought me one, too. :)

    Glad to see your high rating for Knives Out. I thought it looked fun.

    oh what a great job with the cookies! Did you get to eat them too? We've been eating all kinds of things with the holidays. I made mini cheesecakes which were yummy.

    Happy New Year and happy reading!

    We saw Knives Out too. Would you believe I guessed beforehand the plot twist with the medicines. Ha! But I didn't figure out the culprit(s).

    Those cookies look great. Knives Out sounds like a fun(?) mystery movie.
