White Trash Christmas

What a weekend which is cascading over into this week!
Saturday I did pretty much nothing. Between the freak snow storm we got morning and previous week kicking me in the butt, I pretending I was a rag that had been reincarnated. My mom finally got me to shower by going to the store for her. We got in the mood to make sugar cookies and plus only having a expired lasagna in the freezer or leftover Thanksgiving food, this was going to required a trip to the store.
I came back and we fixed dinner and started to make the sugar cookies. Not thinking of the steps ahead, we quickly realized that we didn't have any cookie cutters. An easy solution would be to cut out your own shapes...well easier said than done. My mom did find a couple cookies cutters. One being a cut out that looks like a housewife and the other being a stop sign. This is were the white trash-ness (well the first example) comes into play. We also found using measuring cups would work too. You could make snowballs, ornaments, snowmen (or woman), etc. I did a couple of freehand ones but I'm not going to quit my day job. The best one was a little sqwigily one that when I asked my mom she said it was a "Christmas Worm." Think the cold medicine was getting to her.
Being too tired to frost them at 1 am, we thought we would leave them to the next day. So the next night we started getting everything ready. Well then my mom found the source of the smell we had been having in our kitchen. I had noticed it the other day but brushed it off as, no more Tacobell for him! My mom looked under the sink to find one of the containers of cleaning supplies was half full of ROTTING water. When she pulled it out, I swear it was like opening a sewer! The upstairs quickly filled with the smell of a used diaper factory. My mom was a trooper refusing gloves, or the rope I was going to hang myself with due to the smell. My brother walked into the house and all we could hear was "Who $&#@ their pants!!" It was really funny.
So to honor our experience and go with the Christmas theme of poop my mom turned her "Christmas Worm" into Mr. Hanky from South Park. She made red hat for him and everything. Its funny how much it really resembles him. I can guarantee that will be the last cookie left! It's going to be a wonderful White Trash Christmas at the Arthur's this year!
