Subscribe to my newsletter for email updates, and follow along on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest for all of the latest updates.To be honest, I’m personally having an extremely hard time getting into the spirit this year; If I had my way, I’d spend Christmas day all wrapped up in a blanket, watching movies and eating pizza. Yeah, not very Christmas-like, I know! I guess it’s just the perspective of spending yet another Christmas alone that’s to blame… maybe it’s about time I had a man in my life!

But hey, man or no man, Christmas WILL happen, and I figured I think it’s time I started planning if I was hoping to be ready on time for the big day. And I can’t think of anything better than cookies and chocolate to get me in a festive mood!

So I decided to once again turn to my best friend the Internet for ideas, and thought that, while I was at it, I might as well make a list of serious contenders and share it with you… Only problem is, I ended up finding so many that now I can’t decide which ones I want to make.
