I think people that bake Christmas cookies fall into two categories: 1. The families who bake several kinds of fairly traditional complicated cookies every year and it is time-consuming, expensive and sort of an ordeal. Your back aches and there’s a lot of almond grinding and zesting. Some of them are pretty low yield. You seem to winnow out more recipes every year- trying to focus on the ones that taste the best - the most bang for your buck, labor and taste wise.

2. The fun bakers, willing to take short cuts, to try non-traditional Xmas cookies, and not above supplementing the tray with some store bought fudge. These are the bakers who prioritize making sure the kids have fun- specialty type decorating with marshmallow and tinted frosting. coconut, candy eyes,etc.-  Santa and Snowmen. Their cookies are tasty and may be traditional but they are more flexible in their baking choices.

Of course, number 1 feels superior to 2. And number 2 wonders why you would kill yourself over some dry-ass cookies. I am Italian and belong to group 1 but  no longer bake certain cookies I ate as a kid. I am more selective.  I hate Italian fig cookies.[/quote]

You’re Italian-Italian? Or you’re American and your grandparents/great-grandparents immigrated (like many of us)? There’s a difference![/quote]
