Hard to believe that's it that time already. Where has the year gone? Anyhow, who doesn't love a batch or two of Christmas cookies other than old Ebenezer Scrooge. In all my years of growing up I have always helped in this Christmas tradition even if it was only unwrapping bags of candy for various kinds of cookies and doing the cookie count to make sure everyone got a share when giving to friends. Honestly, my favorite Christmas cookies are Raisin and Mincemeat filled cookies along with M&M cookies mainly. What are your favorite Christmas cookies to bake and eat?

What does a Smile really mean?
What does a smile really mean? Smiles make us feel good about ourselves and even with others around us. When you smile as the saying goes "the world smiles with you". When you go out into the community and smile at whomever you see just give them a smile and they may just smile back at you and in return your smile will become bigger and last longer with more smiles to share. Even when you are feeling low when you smile there is something that just happens and with that smile one begins to feel better just in general.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The Lost City of Z
The Lost City of Z by David Grann Growing up I thought I wanted to be an archaeologist. Now that I’m a ripe 32, I realize what I really wanted to be was an adventurer–someone who dug deep into the dark and emerged with treasures unseen for millennia.

M&M cookies are my Christmas must-haves!
Raisin and mincemeat cookies are such classics, M&M cookies are a must in my house too.
Yummy save me and Phil a few 😊🙏🎅🎅🎅🎅
You know Mark, growing up in rural India, we had no electric oven. We made many festive desserts but were deep-fried in in oil. Now I bake sometimes. But shared cooked are more enjoyable.
Maybe poor Scrooge never got tasty cookies, but the ones that are stale and taste like saw dust. My favorite is gingerbread cookies and one my great grandma used to make, it's made of ground walnut, sugar, spices and eggs, and topped with thick egg white cream and then baked. I hope my mom makes them this year, cos I don't have the equipment to make them.
Great reminders of Christmas past.💗💕 I have a friend who has a business making homemade baked goods now, so I help support her business, and that includes Christmas cookies.
I love soft peanut butter cookies. Nicely done,Mark
I love those homemade butter cookies. And we make homemade frosting and decorate them over several days. It's great!
Time flies, I had a starcookie this morning
