I love this tradition! Isabelle and I have inherited the tradition of baking Grandma's sugar cookies each year to give to the rest of the family. And while it can cause stress, I find that the annual act connects me to all those Christmases of the past when we gathered in my grandmother's kitchen to bake and decorate.
Oh, Lisa, I love that idea of the connection made to Christmases past! Each year one of the recipes we make is my grandma's molasses cookies. While I never actually baked them with her, this year I will think of her having made that very same recipe years ago. What a wonderful thought!

What a sweet family tradition. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, Jody!
Oh, Linda, you are too kind. I think I have some good moments, and perhaps this is one of them;)
