I love Christmastime. It comes only once a year so I like to have a little party where friends come together and we listen to Christmas songs (if no carolers come around), light the ceramic Christmas tree (if we can't get a real tree) and hang stockings (even if we don't have a fireplace.) But what a way to celebrate, especially since I prepared so many cookies. Everyone came together and helped put the cookies on their sheets, or decorate. Deane cooked us a yummy dinner - spaghetti and meatballs - red sauce and white sauce - and salad! Yummy!
Here are the Recipes I followed. (I had help from my mom, brother, and Deane. Thank you!):
