Ooh, I just love this time of year on the site, don't you? I mean, who needs visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads when there are so many glorious Christmas cookies dancing across our screens?! Tonight, I'm featuring this week's top ten cookies, but it should come as no surprise that nearly all (but for one Thanksgiving straggler) are Christmas-themed. From handpainted wreaths to cheery snow globes, our hot list* has nearly every holiday motif covered. It's a virtual Christmas gift full of inspiration, just waiting to be opened!
Onward, shall we? I'm sure you're dying to unwrap this early Christmas present!
#1: Merry Christmas, Y'all by heidijo [EDITOR'S NOTE: If this trio of Santas seems familiar, it's because it's a very popular blast from the past, first posted last year!]

#7: Poinsettia Tree by swetla, who recently changed her screen name to @Vanilla & Me [EDITOR'S NOTE: I was captivated by this cookie's rich and untraditional colors, which is why it's this week's cover art!]

And, for that Thanksgiving straggler that I mentioned . . . thanks, @Cookies Fantastique for helping us end November on a high note!

That's all for this week! I hope your Christmas baking and decorating continues to go as gloriously as it did this week. I can't wait to "unwrap" next Saturday's cookies!
So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.
