This quick turn around from Thanksgiving to Christmas (with a few days in NYC) has my head spinning. This year for Christmas the kids will be back here on Thursday to celebrate our family Christmas. The house is decorated, shopping is pretty well done, there's going to be marathon gift wrapping on Saturday, I'll make 2nd little grandson's Christmas stocking on Sunday, Monday will be focused on food prep.
1st little grandson understands that Santa will bring him presents and that Santa likes cookies. Time to bring out the basket full of cookies cutters. There are ones from my childhood when my brothers, sister, and I made and decorated our cookies. I've purchased cookies cutters for school party treats and other occasions. Monday, I'm going to make cookies and have them ready for him to decorate for Santa. This is going to be so much fun. I have an apron for him and am fully ready for frosting and sprinkles to be all over the place. The joy and excitement that this little guy brings is what Christmas is all about.
Smiling already.

DeleteThat basket of cookie cutters looks so familiar. I have some fond cookie-making memories from this time of year.
