Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man?
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
Who ran and ran and ran?
He said, "Catch me if you can,
If you can,
if you can."
He said, "Catch me if you can,"
Then ran and ran and ran.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
The Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man,
Now catch me if you can!!
Turkey Hands
Here's a place card that's edible and fun to make. If you don't
have a hand-shaped cookie cutter, make a pattern by tracing
around your child's hand on cardboard, then cutting out. Lay
the pattern on the dough and cut around the shape with a knife.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a Triple
Chocolate Trifle smothered in silky smooth marshmallow creme,
sprinkled with lightly toasted chopped pecans and drizzled with
rich dark fudge sauce. What will you give your true love in
return? A bag of Chips Ahoy cookies (half which will no doubt
be crumbled)? I think not.
