Do you make a mess when you make Christmas cookies?

Isn't that part of the fun of making them?

“Empty?! You took all the cookies!"  

"They were crying to get out of the jar... Cookies get 

claustrophobia too, you know!” 

Charles M. Schulz 

The Lace Shadow

“Some people seemed to get all sunshine, and some all shadow…” 
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
