Garfield by Jim Davis for December 14, 2020

Because you never know when they’ll go bad!

Does anyone have any good cookie recipes? I wanna bake some.

yummmmmmmmyyyyyy :)

Just like eggnog.

Annnnd this is why I did NOT make my Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pistachio Fudge, or Caramel Surprise Cookies! They would be GONE before they cooled! And the bad part – there is only ONE culprit! That wicked witch in the mirror!!! ;)

[Rebel Wolf voice] That’s a hongry kitty-cat cat-cat-cat. :-)

I can’t have them around unless I can give them away to family/friend/co-workers later. Other wise I’ll finish them off.

I’ll back up Garfield on this one.

There is never an expiration date on Christmas cookies. They don’t last long enough.

Way back in the old days, me a boy, would help my sisters clear off our big kitchen table, & make Christmas cookies from scratch. I sifted the flour (yes you did that back then before it came pre-sifted). You used a rolling pin to flatten out the dough, & we had a variety of the metal & shaped Christmas related cutouts (this was before they came out with the plastic ones). We would have a variety of food coloring for the sugar frosting that decorated the different shapes. No they didn’t last long, even with my mom “hiding” some.

Ma used a Presto [I think that was the name] where one loaded the dough into it, then turned the screw to press the mixture through a die to create little green Christmas trees.

I ate so many that my poop was green the next day.

this reminds me, i’ve gotta get baking!! christmas baking is always so fun too, i think i’ll make some sugar cookies :o)

Gotta eat ‘em before all the m&m’s turn brown…

Amen.

In season? They were barely ripe!

Cookies are best eaten slowly, one at a time, to savor each subtle flavor.

Ah… Tradition… You gotta eat what you see.

Well that was fast eating the cookies

Funny this strip is out today. It has finally gotten cold in South Texas so today is Holiday baking day. We will bake about 30 dozen cookies for charity. From sugar cookies to Gingerbread men. I love this time of year!!!!

Hey…save some for Santa.

Mmm sugar cookies

That season being one second.

That’s how I feel about eggnog, gingerbread men, and especially Chex mix.

It’s good to see Garfield has the Christmas spirit.

Don’t wait until New Years, folks!

Put cinnamon on them and you can eat them when they’re in seasoning…

Actually, he’s right. Cookies do get stale, you know…

Yep, you sure do have to eat ‘em when they’re in season!!!! LOL!!!!

Garfield’s right.

You must eat Christmas cookies while they are piping hot. They stale otherwise. #xmastreats101 :)

Garfield you are a gluttonous pig……….

My dad and I used to bake two kinds of holiday cookies: snickerdoodles sand spritz. Because the spritz often jammed/got stuck in the cookie gun, they became known as the Cursin’ Cookies … ha.
