Plate of Misfit Cookies

Does anyone else end up with strange, deformed cut-out cookies when they make Christmas cookies? Somehow there's always a gingerbread man that looks more like an amoeba, or an angel that loses its head (I just frosted her head onto her skirt), or a "Birdman", or a snake or an-umbrella-shaped-who-know-what-it-actually-is cookie. They all get sent to the plate of misfit cookies, never destined for a platter for company or a giftbox. Despite their misshapen imperfections, they were still very, very tasty.
