Know how I know Christmas is coming?

The last two days I have been

finishing up my projects for the Christmas swap

I am participating in...

TOP SECRET

for now until everyone receives their packages!

Spending lots of time with

glitter and glue at the table.

Yesterday I took a break to run some errands

and decided to make a stop at Trader Joes because

it is that time of year boys and girls...

when that special treat comes out

and

once they are gone they are gone...

(Unless you can find a box on E-Bay)

and yes there are people who stockpile and sell them on E-bay!

If you don't know what I'm talking about

then lay your eyes on the box that can lead to an

all out frenzy if it is the last one on the shelf....

I had to open this box while my husband and son were down for a nap!

Mainly so I could get my share to hide....

My husband has been guilty in the past of eating a few more than his share

and I have to admit I was actually upset

when I went to get one and they were all gone!

Especially since they were sold out for the season!

What

is so special

about these cookies you say? 

They are not just some

O-R-E-O

  wannabe...

The Candy Cane version has tiny candy cane pieces in the creamy center

and they use real peppermint oil

not flavoring - there is a difference...

Great with Coffee, a Latte, or a nice mug of milk...

are you drooling yet?

Well it gets better

they came out with a chocolate coated version as well..

Oh, they are to die for!

That box is hidden to go into a Christmas stocking...

Last year my hubby found the one I had stashed for myself and almost got divorced over it!

(kidding of course)

SO

You know how I know Christmas is coming?...

The appearance of the Candy Cane Joe-Joe of course!

Now

 let me go find my mini vac so I can get the crumbs off my laptop!
