It’s the most wonderful time of the
year. This means before Christmas rolls around there is one last thing to do,
its holiday baking! I believe most family’s at this time of year participate in
some form of baking in a holiday manner. My family likes to make a big deal of
it. Usually my family is very healthy and we watch what we eat very closely. This
day gives us a chance to let go of the heath strings just for a while and pig-out
on all of the delectable treats we make, while enjoying time with family. We
make loads of candy and pass off all of the extras to friends and family. We hand
make everything from cherry bars, fudge, sugar cookies, chocolate and Carmel
turtles to even some secret recipes that only my family makes. Cousins and
grandparents from out of town and even out of state come and visit on this day.
After the festivities are over
there are still containers of sweet treats left to remember the wonderful day
by. We send a package of goodies to my grandparents down in Florida; and my dad
takes some to work for the rest of his employees to enjoy. I think holiday
baking brings everyone closer, not just within a family but also with your friends
because everyone brings their treats around to share, and spread the joy of
what is soon to be Christmas, Hanukah, or whatever you may celebrate this time
of year. For me the most important part about holiday baking day is just
getting into the spirit for Christmas, it is like the introduction to how
wonderful Christmas will be. (278)
