Pigs have a very decoration-friendly shape, and so do mitten-shaped cookies.<\/p>\n<p>The stranger shapes include a set with tiny animals and a boat, which I believe is Noah&#8217;s Ark, kind of thematically appropriate &#8211; but it also a train engine and a car. This set gets used a lot because the small shapes fit so nicely in between the larger cookies.<\/p>\n<p>Another set has more animals, which for some reason includes a crocodile and a shark. Who hasn&#8217;t heard of Christmas crocodiles? Adrian especially likes the shark and the crocodile, so we usually end up with a lot of those.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gingerbread cookies are an essential part of Christmas.
