Finals are Over and Christmas is on its Way!

This is what our Kitchen looked like for the weeks leading up to Brian's finals. Also note our dinner just barely squeezing itself on to the dining table. Dinner went about like this:
Me: "Here is dinner sweetie. I'm going to say a prayer."
(I say a short prayer)
Silence
clink of spoon on bowl
patter of furious fingers on keyboard
clink of spoon on bowl
Me: "So how is the studying?"
Brian: "I hate law school"
Ok. Nice chat.

 I just had to get a picture of this...Brian wearing his sweater with his huge books out. Someday I hope it will all be a vague memory.
 But THANKFULLY, finals are over (until next spring when Brian will GRADUATE, and then have to take the bar) and Christmas is almost here. Our stockings are hung by the chimney with care (or thumb tacks) and our tiny little tree is at least adorned with a few lights. There are a few presents waiting under the tree, but most importantly.....
 There are Christmas TREATS!
 These cookies are absolutely delicious. You can find the recipe over at my favorite cooking blog of all time Our Best Bites. I also added some Andes peppermint pieces which I have never seen or used before this year (they are so yummy!). If you like peppermint and chocolate then you will not want to miss these cookies. They are fairly easy and oh so good!
Bring on the pounds, oh Holiday Season, for it wouldn't be the same without them.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
