Decorate sugar cookies for Christmas?

I'm thinking of decorating sugar cookies from Christmas next week. I've never made ​​biscuits sugar or decorated them before, so I had a couple of questions. I hope you all can help? :.) 1) Is it the best royal icing for decoration? 2.) Do you have to have two different consistencies of icing? (One of the pipes. A flood) 3) This is something linked to the previous question: I needed to make Christmas tree ornaments, so you need to thaw the layer. If I have to use two different consistencies of icing is used more thick as the decor and the weakest of floods / full color? 4.) What is your favorite recipe for sugar cookies? 5.) What are your sweet Bookmark / decorations to use? (Sugar colors, H & M, etc.) 6.) I can buy supplies anywhere? (Target, grocery store, from Michael?) 7.) Any other tips / tricks / comments? Thank you very much and have a wonderful holiday!
