And then trimmed tree and Santa Claus, we eagerly wait, what do we do? We have a plate of Christmas cookies for Santa to him on his way out. Of course what we tell our kids are in the middle of the night we wake up, nibble on cookies and leave just enough crumbs so that kids know that Santa has.
Then of course there are Christmas Day and the following week when we are about 6 cans of treats to nibble on to have. It is our reason for cookies for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every chance we get during the day. Snack time gets a whole new meaning during the Christmas period. And what about cookies? How many different types you think that? Well, there are probably more kinds of Christmas cookies than you can imagine.
