Family Traditions =] November 25, 2009

Around the holidays it seems like most family's have a certain traditions that they celebrate. My family has many holiday traditions. These traditions are designed to bring families together. Family is so important and sometimes our lives get in the way of seeing them very often. My family is full of many crazy and fun traditions that we celebrate throughout the year. Our most recent tradition that we just celebrated was Cookie Day. Every year right before Thanksgiving my family gets together and has Cookie Day at my Grandma's house. For one whole day we make tons of homemade sugar cookies for the Christmas season. My grandma makes the dough. We all take turns cutting the cookies into many holiday shapes. Then all of the cookies become our own little works of art. We decorate around 400 cookies every year. It is a great way for our family to spend time together. We give many of the cookies to our friends and neighbor. It is our little way of sending love to the people we care about during the Christmas holiday season.
