A Merry Little Christmas

The Yuletide baking has begun. So far I've made peanut brittle (twice because the first time it was meh), a double batch of thumbprint cookies (because Mr. Pixie always asks for more), sponge toffee (aka cinder toffee), and M&M cookies (because the kid asked nicely). 

I started filling up our treat table and noticed a little addition.


Can you see it? Look a little closer to that top tier of the cookie plate.


A tiny tin with Father Christmas and 'Christmas Cookies' on the label!


Seems our fairies are getting in the Yuletide spirit too! What a nice contribution to our sweet buffet. If they aren't entirely gobbled, I am certain that Santa's elves will nibble them on Christmas eve.

I hope that your holidays are chugging along swimmingly :)

    1. I'm afraid these one's aren't edible... though I did make some super small cookies this year. Funny the things we 'have to have' at Christmas. We MUST have Terry's Chocolate Oranges, Harvey's Bristol Cream (which the husband hates lol) and socks and underwear.
