Christmas Cookies

I heard this for the first time on the radio about two Christmases ago. It's a cute little country ditty by George Strait.

Chorus 1:

I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar

I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe

The ones that look like Santa Claus

Christmas trees and bells and stars

I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe

Verse 1:

Now Christmas cookies are a special treat

The more she bakes the more I eat

And sometimes I can't get myself to stop

Sometimes she'll wait til I'm asleep

And she'll take the ones that I didn't eat

And put those little sprinkley things on top

Verse 2:

Now those sprinkley things just make things worse

Cause it makes em taste better than they did at first

And they're absolutely impossible to resist

Some disappear to who knows where

But I make sure I get my share

And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss

Chorus 2:

I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar

I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe

She gets mad if they're all gone

Before she gets the icing put on

I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe

Verse 3:

Now there's a benefit to all of this

That you might have overlooked or missed

So now let me tell you the best part of it all

Every time she sticks another batch in the oven

There's fifteen minutes for some kissin' and huggin'

That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long
