β Hello Reader! The countdown to Christmas is on...are you ready? I have my shopping done but I haven't done any holiday baking aside from my red velvet brownies and peppermint brownies. I'm leaving town tomorrow to visit family for Christmas, so my usual assortment of holiday cookies is looking unlikely this year. The season just isn't long enough! π₯ I have at least gotten to see some of my favorite Christmas light displays in the Boise area. The photo above was taken in the tunnel at Scentsy. They have a wonderful display that I have to see every year. Please ignore my magenta colored face! π It will be quiet here for the next 2 weeks or so as I will be taking a break until the first part of January to enjoy the holidays with my family and create new content for 2025. I'm so grateful that you're here and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy 2025! ππ Let me know if you'd like to see any specific recipes in 2025 -- I'd love to hear from you. Just hit reply and let me know! Merry Christmas! Marcie |

Hi Reader, My mom baked a multitude of sweet treats every Christmas and gave them away as gifts to friends and family. I loved that tradition and I've made it mine as well. Part of the fun is assembling everything I've made in pretty tins or boxes to give away, or creating something beautiful for holiday gatherings! You too can create your Ultimate Christmas Cookie Box with all of my easy tips. The best part is that it can be as big or small as you like! Along with my tips, you'll also access...
