Elf Themed Shaped Bake and Take Sugar Cookies

A few years back there was an article in our local paper about popular items at our library in town and the now Christmas classic movie "elf" starring Will Farrell and James Caan was the most checked out  DVD.

This is the first year I recall seeing an "elf" themed cookie at the local Kroger grocery store, or any store in town.  They are Pillsbury baked and take Sugar cookies that have the shape of elf's hat and makes 24 cookies.

The box is more impressive than the actual cookie decoration, but the any decoration has to be as they puff up when baked and it gets slightly distorted.

This would be fun to bake and watch the movie afterwards to get into the Christmas Spirit.

Light Up Flamingo and Palm Tree Christmas Sweater

Nothing says Christmas like...Flamingos and Palm tree that lights up?

Apparently that was someone's vision and they decided to put it on a sweater.  

Not going to lie; if I had found one where the lights were working I would have bought it.

This was another Walmart find in the Men's section and sorry folks, then gem in only available in stores and was marked $24.99.

Christmas Lights Displays Around Town

 One thing we like to do around the Holiday is drive around and look at the Christmas decorations people have put up as the are all different. Here is a few of the ones we like on a a random drive on a few streets around Spring and Sherman in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Might be an HR (Human Resources) moment as it looks like Mr. Snowman is getting a bit frisky with the Minion..

This is a thrift store business.

Light and Nativity

Lights, Nativity, Santa!

 Ditto

I like this one as it is creative in using lights to cast a green color and shadow on the house of the wooden cutout reindeer and sleigh.

This one is creative as well by using the lights to shape a Christmas Tree and icicles hanging off the roof line.   Although a few bulb on the right are burned out, I think that adds to the charm and makes you take a second look.

This has more of an understated, elegant old-fashioned look.

I bet putting those lights up on the second story were a bit treacherous put worth

This one looks like a Gingerbread house, especially from a distance.
