It’s DAY TWO of 2016’s Sweetest Season Cookie Exchange Week. I’m floored by all the gorgeous cookies that have been made in celebration?

Truly, I wish we all lived in the same place or could send cookies via the Internet because holy cow, I want to eat them ALL.

As I was working on this post’s images, my favorite Christmas spotify playlist started playing a piano rendition of Amy Grant’s “Grown Up Christmas List.”

I don’t know about your childhood Christmases, but mine could have been accompanied by Amy Grant’s Christmas albums. They were our favorite, and in my book, they’re classics.

But when I was writing this post, that song hit me on a new level.

It’s been a hard few months for so many people, and as I was listening to the piano play a song I know by heart, the words sprung into my head.

So here’s my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list. Not for myself, but for a world in need: No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start and time would heal all hearts. Everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end.

Preach, Amy.

That’s my grown-up Christmas list, too.

(I might’ve shed a few tears as I listened because oh my word, I wish this so much, especially after this year we’ve had.)

I’ve been trying to find joy in the little things during this last month, and I hope you’re doing the same. Even though there’s so much sadness in our world, there are good things, and those good things should be celebrated.

One of those good things, which, admittedly, is little are these No Bake Peppermint Bark Cookies.

Not only are they no-bake cookies, but they’re gluten free. And if you’re a lover of peppermint bark, you’ll go crazy over these little gems.
