Classic Christmas cookies are really time-consuming. Instead, make a bar you can bake in a pan and just cut up, like a brownie or a blondie or a shortbread, which still has that Christmas vibe.

I’m a romantic, but I’m not a romantic in the traditional sense. I like to romanticize what happens to me.
