Also, Nutella is not chocolate - I got burned WAY too many time in Paris by crepe stands offering "chocolate" crepes which turned out to be filled with that hazelnut tainted abomination. Nutella inside a crescent roll may be a very nice treat for people who don't think Nutella tastes like dirt, but it is NOT A CHOCOLATE CROISSANT.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Gingerbread men are Christmas? Not being snarky here, I just never associated gingerbread men with Christmas. Holiday, sure, just non-religious.

I've never understood the fascination with Nutella.
Of course, "chocolate croissants" aren't chocolate croissants either but I've given up on that fight entirely.

Rev. Phelps & Co. are planning to picket Elizabeth Edwards' funeral. Why can't we kill them?
If Clark Howard wasn't on the radio collecting Christmas presents for foster children, I would have no hope for humanity at all. (It's his 20th year of getting people to buy the presents each child asks for, and he's worked his way up to presents for about half the foster children in Georgia.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh, I should have given gingerbread details. They were gingerbread men dancing around xmas trees.
I'm a big fan of general gingerbread men. They are deeeelish.

It's a shame the founding fathers didn't come up with an amendment against tacky.

I was going to ask how they turned out, but it looks like they have been vouched for! I see them all the time and wonder if they are really awesome, and now I want to give them a try for reals.
They are quite awesome.

I don't know anything about New York geography, but I like this place: Harlem Renaissance House it's on West 139th St between 7th and 8th. I don't know if they have multiple bed rooms, but the people are nice, the rooms are beautiful, and the subway is only a few blocks away.

I should also say I'm a big fan of xmas, as well. I love the whole lights and garland and trees and PRESENTS thing.
But then there's the chanukah thing which comes with OMG latkes with sour cream and chocolate coins.
Which is why chrismakah is the perfect holiday.
