A few years ago I created my own 12 days of Christmas with regards to my children and their “gifts” to me throughout the year. Each year I update the “gifts” since my kids are getting older (soiled diapers turned to soiled tissues). This year they’ve been big helpers and “sous chefs” in the kitchen, so this twelve days is about one of my favorite holiday activities – baking cookies. I hope you’re enjoying your day with friends and family and food! Merry, merry.
