Seasons greetings and welcome to our home for the holidays! If you’ve seen previous holiday seasons here at the home of Tina’s Chic Corner, then many of the decorations might look familiar to you. I like to re-use my decorations in different ways and in different rooms in order to give the items new life. Plus, I have fun creating new looks.

These molasses cookies are a drop cookie so it’s just like making easy peezy chocolate chip cookies. I’ve made a similar cookie in the past called gingerbread drop cookies, but these molasses cookies are more soft and chewy. So now …
