One of my earliest memories is of my mother making Christmas Cookies. Her signature cookie was that of Santa, she made his beard out of coconut, his eyes were raisins, his cheeks and lips painted red with food coloring,. These cookies were a tradition and my niece shares this memory with me as she was growing up. Yesterday in the mail, she sent me the Santa ornament and I was immediately taken back in time to our kitchen table with all the Santas lined up hot out of the over, to start the decorating process. Thank you for sharing these precious memories. Merry Christmas to all!
