Mamacita says:  When the kids came home on Christmas Eve, I was ready with Christmas cookies. I knew the children were glad to be home for Christmas, but I didn’t really understand all the laughing coming from the kitchen.

Then they ran for their cameras and took pictures of the cookies.  Or, rather, one of the cookies.

It’s not what you’re thinking.  I know what you’re thinking because it’s what my children were thinking, and it’s what I’m thinking all over again as I giggle over the picture of the cookie.

I didn’t roll the cookie dough thin enough, and when I pressed the angel cookie cutter into the dough, the slot under the handle filled with dough, too.

I tried to convince my children that the angel was holding a candle, but they didn’t buy it.  I have a feeling that none of you would, either.,

But this is what a cookie can look like when the cook is in a hurry and doesn’t roll the dough thin enough and it pokes through the slot underneath the cookie cutter’s handle.

Why, what were YOU thinking?  Because it certainly looks like a candle to me.

Okay, not really.

But I think I might know why she’s smiling like that.
