This year, my goal is to try different Christmas cookie recipes. I love the challenge. My children love to help with the baking. They have lots of fun choosing different cookie cutters and shaping the cookie dough. My children love playdough. Cookie dough is similar to playdough, especially to my son. They love being little helpers. Whenever I am cooking, my daughter and son love to help me by flipping food in a pan. It’s adorable. This time I made these delicious buttery Christmas cookie treats to share with friends.

Christmas Celebration
Children make you excited for Christmas time. And the family tradition you develop with your family. During Christmas, we always set aside some time to have a family photo with Santa. Looking back at the Santa photos from the previous years, it is amazing how much the children have grown and how different they look. I love looking at my kids’ photos. And in the evening, we would take the children in our neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. I love these traditions.
My Christmas Tradition
I enjoy watching Christmas movies at home. It is nice to relax with holiday favorites. Surprisingly, there are a lot of feel-good movies. Nothing like a movie to get you in ready for the Christmas spirit. Usually, I enjoy attending Make it event a handmade market with many artists and makers. I love learning new craft ideas and new products. They are unique and inspirational.
