One of my favorite Christmas family traditions is our yearly Christmas Cookies Extravaganza, where the kids and I make batches and batches of delicious cookies. This year, we added two goodies (triple chocolate covered strawberries and Christmas triple chocolate covered pretzels) to the bunch. Why so much? Well, there are lots of parties to go to; neighbors who became friends; and teachers who needed that extra yumminess to enjoy their holiday break. And these homemade cookies and goodies are just the perfect gifts for special people that took care of my family and I this year. We spent 3 days of baking, starting on December 15 every year, then we packaged it beautifully, and ready to be delivered on the 18th, which is our twin boys' birthday. So today, we delivered to our family doctors, dentists, hairdresser and barber, our sweet mailman, my mani-pedi ladies, Soup Kitchen Co-Volunteers, Catholic Women’s Group ladies, town Firemen, post office workers, and of course, our Soldiers guarding the gates of Fort Stewart Military Base. For some, these might just be a bunch of cookies and goodies, but NOT THESE…..these are long family traditions made by KitchenElla’s and her kids...these are homemade Christmas cookies and goodies ~ made with LOVE and GRATITUDE!
