No Santa Cameo but...

I'm no fan of Neil Gaiman. But this line is gold and too precious to go unmentioned:

"The house smelled musty and damp, and a little sweet, as if it were haunted by the ghosts of long-dead cookies." -American Gods

That's a brilliant description. But precious? *shudder* I've eaten cookies like that when I was desperate for a snack and had nothing else suitable in the house. For some reason I think they were always sweetmeal digestives. And they tasted exactly like a long-locked-up house.

(I'm sorry if that's gross but ... I was young and poor and needed the biscuit? :)

I don't think there was ever a cookie that survived long enough in my vicinity to become a cookie ghost. I imagine them kind of adorable. You know, little hopping cookies with tiny sheets covering them? no? Might be me, then. :D

I'm always so impressed by how you have a perfectly perfect icon for every opportunity! *envies*

And sure, sure, it's precious the way YOU describe it. :D
