It’s that time of year when Christmas Carols are playing everywhere and the world seems a little brighter. It’s also that time of year when most people have a never-ending to do list running through their head. I like to manage all the unrealistic holiday expectations by eating large amounts of Christmas Cookies. After the holidays pass and my pants no longer fit I realize this is not a good coping strategy. But Christmas cookies come only once a year and if I pass them by I know I’ll regret it. I call this situation the Christmas Cookie Conundrum.
