M&M Christmas Cookie Bars

A funny thing happened to me today…

Last week we were having fun in the sun at Disney in Florida.  We didn’t have a care about real life.  The biggest issues we had were that we were {almost} too hot and the lines were too long!

Anyway, I’m telling you this because today, I woke up, back at home and realize Christmas is right around the corner.

AHHHHHHH

How did that happen so quickly?

Seriously.

I spent all my time preparing for Thanksgiving and our Disney trip, that I kind of put Christmas on hold in my brain.  Now, it’s basically here and I haven’t even thought of any holiday recipes.  This bothers me.  Christmas baking is what gets me in the holiday mood.  For some it’s putting up the lights, tree or decorations.  For me, it’s the baking (and watching Love Actually).
