Be Jolly By Golly!

I have been forced, by a malicious, vicious girl, who calls herself my best friend to put up this post about Christmas and all things Jolly. She cut me up and dripped my blood on to parchment paper to make candy! HAHAHA! Sorry I couldn't help myself. That is just an odd introduction to my next post. heh heh. 

Anywho, on with the blog. Here is a picture of my Christmas tree for you all. The picture quality is not grand but it does look nice, I promise.


My favorite holiday drink would have to be the peppermint hot chocolate that Melissa made. I dont have a picture of it, but Melissa does and it looks very yummy! My second favorite has got to be Eggnog and Rum! This is pretty exciting for me, because up till this year I did not like eggnog.  Then all of the sudden I do, whooopeeeee!

My favorite holiday treat, hmmm... not gingerbread cookies, those are yuck.  Nothing dark chocolatey.. umm.. Oh I know! Okay don't be shocked, this is not traditional, and technically I can have it all year.  It's Broccoli with Cheese!! I just love the creamy goodness, I could eat a bazillion pounds of it!! 

Finally my favorite holiday decoration would have to be Melissa and my gingerbread house! For the past two years we have made them, and let me tell you, they are EPIC! 




This year though, I wasn't really in my creative state so I spent so long spreading icing on the back of the house and making the demented reindeer (which is also a tradition). 


Oh I also helped with the roof, my side is the artsy looking one, heh heh! 

However, a horrific tragedy has occured!!! The poor poor gingerbread house, was terminated! It didn't even get to see a full day before he/she/it died! All thanks to Melissa's cat, who felt so inclined to rip it off the table!!!!  She may tell you that Mia (cat) is a dear little angel, DO NOT BELIEVE HER! 

Well, have a grand Christmas, and I shall post drawings soon!

  1. I am so impressed with your ginger bread house! I've tried in the past and always epically FAILED. I can never get past establishing the walls. They always cave or lean. I end up just eating all the pieces.

  3. What a gorgeous little gingerbread house!! We always cheated and made ours with graham crackers, hahaha. I love Disney animation too! When my daughters were growing up, I even did a Beauty and the Beast scene on the Etch-a-Sketch (I'm an artist as well as a writer). It was FUN, and challenging. Merry Christmas!
