Here is the video for the song "Mary did you know?" from earlier in the week.
Hope you enjoy!
Have a great weekend.

Your cookie recipe reminded me of a fun tradition we had with our grown children. We gathered on a Saturday in early December--our three children, their spouses, and our grandchildren. I had prepared copies of several recipes, gathered huge mixing bowls, and a trunkload of ingredients. We paired up kids and adults with each other and mixed and baked cookies to the sound of Christmas music. Each family had trays of cookies to take home, plus for church events and other people who we had concerns for. The children had a lot of fun decorating the cookies. Now that we are in Florida at Christmas, we are not there to share this event with our children so I was thrilled to talk to my son's mother in law this past week. While our son and daughter in law were in Ethiopia adopting two little boys, their other four children stayed with Oma (the other grandmother.) She had friends who invited the children to come over and decorate cookies last Saturday. They must be really good by now because on Monday they went to another home to decorate cookies. I think next year I might invite children down here to come over to decorate cookies. I really believe time is a better gift at Christmas, don't you? The grandchildren felt very special to be included in these cookie decorating events.

It's great to carry traditions on...even if they are slightly different as time moves on! Thanks for sharing...Janet
