Alrighty, readers. It's time!

Christmas cookie

Joshua wasn't able to join us this year, so I just have five cookies for you, which should make things very slightly easier.

I was going to point out that Lisey will eventually move out and probably not join us as well.

BUT.

When I said this to Lisey, she assured me that even if she moves to Florida (her dream), she will still fly back specifically to decorate cookies with us. 😉

If you're new to my blog, you should know that at our house, Christmas cookies are not at all traditional.

We have traditionally-shaped cookie cutters, but that's where it ends.

Also, most of our cookies have faces. 😉

Here are this year's choice cookies.

Cookie 1

A Christmas tree with some stylishly heavy eyebrows.

The cookie artist said that this was Mr. FG as a Christmas tree, since Mr. FG has pretty massive eyebrows.

Cookie 2

A hammerhead shark, made from a candy cane cookie.

I bought the goldfish sprinkles specifically because they are exactly the kind of non-traditional thing we decorate with. Ha.

Cookie 3-the one with a long backstory

This one is a lonely vampire, who has lived so long that all his friends have passed on.

To add to his misery, his workplace is having the Christmas party during the day, and since he's a vampire, he can't attend.

Thus: a heart-broken Christmas tree cookie.

Cookie 4

Pretty self-explanatory...Patrick Star from Sponge Bob.

Cookie 5

These are shark fins in the midst of a goldfish feeding frenzy.

I don't really think that many sharks could fit into such a small space, but we are suspending disbelief here. 😉

Ok! So, here are the numbered cookies.

And the cookie artists are:

  • Kristen
  • Mr. FG
  • Lisey
  • Sonia
  • Zoe

So, leave your guess in this format:

1-cookie artist
2-cookie artist

and so on.

That way I can easily keep track of who gets the order right first!

First one to guess the correct order gets a $50 Amazon gift card emailed to them, courtesy of me.

And if no one gets it right after 24 hours, I'll give the gift card to the first person who got closest.

Ready, set, go!

P.S. The cookie and frosting recipe we used every year is available right here.

    I always do so poorly on this that I used reverse psychology on myself this time and chose different names than what my instincts told me. It's so much fun every year!

    Such a memorable Christmas tradition! Hope Joshua hasn't bowed out forever. Yay, Lisey!

  44. I never get them right, and usually not close, but I'll play anyway this year because I'm charmed by the backstories. BTW, if there's a vampire fan in your family, I recommend reading Barbara Hambly's "Those Who Hunt The Night." Atypical vampire story, a mystery set in Edwardian England. It's listed as horror/mystery because of the vampires but it's horrible at all.

  53. I'm not receiving email notifications of your postings any longer, despite recently re-submitting. It's very possible that someone has already guessed the configuration but here goes.

    This is a resubmission as mine sent in middle of the night doesn't show up (and one of guesses is so crazy it might be right!)

  79. There is definitely an oceanic theme going on here...sans the vampire, but whatever...
