Baking Xmas Cookies in July

It might sound odd to be baking Christmas cookies in July, but since that is the theme of my birthday party next weekend I figured we should have holiday shaped sugar cookies. Originally we thought, or I thought, this would be fun, but it turned out to be more of a nuisance than anything. We first went to the store to get all our supplies. Once we started to use our cookie cutters we realized our cheap plastic cookie cutters are just worthless and we need to get the super solid metal cookie cutters. The plastic ones were small and we were having a hard time cutting them from the dough. Since we didn't want to go back to the store (and figured the store probably does not sell Xmas cookie cutters in July) we decided the plastic ones would have to do this time. Needless to say we got all the cookies cut out with the plastic cutters, baked and decorated. Andy said this is a one time a year event, so I should not plan on baking cookies in December, or at least with his help. I am ok with that since I did not enjoy baking cookies last night. I am just not a baker. I also think that this baking event didn’t go well after work yesterday where I spent the afternoon at the bar with my boss and my coordinator. Coming home with a buzz and then starting to bake where all I wanted to do was sleep didn’t help the situation either. Anyway, the cookies are baked and there is only one week left until Xmas in July! Whoo-hoo!
