Christmas Cookies

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to the holidays...in my head, my mom did everything perfect. I noticed this when I was looking for new Christmas stockings this year - we always had ours hanging to the left, but many in stores hang to the right. To me, that's backwards.

So I'm also that way with Christmas cookies - I have difficulty branching out past the ones my mom always made...the molasses, sugar, peanut butter blossoms, etc. But Woman's Day featured some super-cute ones in their November issue. I've gonna have to try some of these new recipes. Here's pics of two:

And here's the link to all of them:
