The holidays are the best time of the year. The music, the lights, the trees, the ambiance inside stores, malls, and around the office. Everyone seems to be in a better mood around the holidays. Yes, there is stress with shopping, getting things done before the end of the year, and dealing with Christmas shoppers, but overall, most are in a better mood. With some time off, friends and family coming over, and opening gifts, it is easy to get swept up in the holiday spirit. It also means it is time to have some fun. Playing games, having a drink, and pulling pranks are also part of the holiday season. There is one prank that is pulled each year around the holidays that is mean, cruel, and is guaranteed to get many people throughout the season, and likely you have fallen for it before.

One of the best parts about the holiday season is the sweets that come with it. Everyone has a favorite snack, cookie, or sweet that they enjoy around the holiday season. It can be one your mom or grandma made growing up, or perhaps it is something you buy from a store each year. For decades, many have been enjoying Royal Dansk Danish Butter cookies, or perhaps a different brand. These tins are known to contain absolute goodness inside, and odds are high you or someone you know has snuck a few when they weren't supposed to. Anytime you see this tin lying around, you get excited, especially around the holidays, knowing what is inside. While this tin can often lead to holiday joy and deliciousness, it can also be the cause of the biggest letdown during the holiday season.

Growing up, it seems like every grandma had this tin filled with cookies during the holidays, but after the cookies were gone, nobody ever threw the tin away. These tins are often recycled to be filled with things to help with storage, and on rare occasions, might be restocked with more cookies. We have all been disappointed one time or another to see one of these tins around the office at work, someone's home, or perhaps even at your own home, only to be pranked. You hope to quietly sneak a cookie without anyone noticing, only to open the tin and find out that there are no cookies inside, leaving you sad, still hungry, and disappointed in your attempted thievery. It is cruel to leave these tins out without cookies inside, yet many fall for it each holiday season.

If you see a Danish Butter tin lying around this holiday season, don't get too excited until you can confirm what is inside. Odds are high that you will be disappointed and pranked by someone using it to store other things, but on the occasion that it is truly filled with cookies, make sure to take a couple, and enjoy the delicious taste of the holiday season and Danish Butter cookies.
