Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!
Tomorrow is the big day!! If you are not ready by now, there is no hope,lol. It’s been a busy day/night around here. We’ve been up since 6am doing our Christmas baking. We made Cinnamon Sticks, Cookies, Pudding, Cheese Cake…and many other treats!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve filled with tons of new & happy memories! If you have fallen on hard times and sad times I wish you peace.
My husband had a HUGE hand in these cookies and I am so happy he wanted to be a part of it. He did not add raisins and instead added cranberries and he also added 1 teaspoon or so of cloves!
Merry Christmas!
