Christmas cookies

Mom meant to post this here first, but accidentally put it on our blog, so I copied it over here, so its in both places. :) Alicia

We started our holiday season with a new project. We usually make all our candy on Thanksgiving weekend, but this year, we ate Thanksgiving at the Bishop's. So then on Friday, we spent cooking our own turkey and such, so we didn't make candy - just one batch of million dollar fudge. We made caramel corn last week to send to Spencer in Iraq, so we didn't make it this weekend.Anyway, we wanted to be creative in the kitchen, so we invited the missionaries over to make cookie plates for them to take to people. They ended up not coming so we went ahead and made the cookies and they came today after church and Brian helped pack them up. Then we tied pass along cards for the Nativity video on to them. It felt good to do a little service. We are trying to spend our holiday season this year focusing on other people and on things we can do for others with materials we have at home. It was a very good and satisfying start to our holiday season. I highly recommend it!!!!! LOVE Charlotte

The best part of giving away the goodies that you make is that then the house isn't filled to overflowing with lots of temptations to eat. Mmmm, fudge sounds good right now.

That's a great idea...and serving others always brings a satisfying feeling. Way to go. :)

So I want to know, what kinds of cookies did you make? I still remember the year I wasn't working and I made 57 dozen cookies. . . .


So, please, tell us the kinds, so I can savor them in absentia.

Love, Sandra

What a fun idea! I love that you tied the pass-a-long cards on.
