Flying with Angels and Wings
Christmas is a time we usually think about angels. There is that popular saying that when a bell rings an angel gets his or her wings. These are songs with angels and with wings in the titles. So watch the tinsel glittering on your Christmas tree, catch the scent of evergreen, and look out to see the snowflakes dancing upon the frosty air. Have some hot cider, eggnog, or mulled wine and delicious Christmas cookies, and listen to these songs. Perhaps just as you sit back to relax, a bell will ring and another angel will get their wings and take flight to the top of your Christmas tree.

The Sweet Side of Christmas
Alabama Tea cake cookies are both crunchy and soft. They’re easy to prepare with the basic ingredients being butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. The cream of tartar doesn’t let the sugar crystallize and this makes these cookies soft. Additional ingredients that can be added include lemon zest, vanilla, or a pinch of nutmeg added to the dough.
