Over the years it has been my "job" to make the Grandma cookies for my family, including my siblings and my Dad. I enjoy the tradition of making them, and love to share them with my family. I love the memories that come flooding back when I make them.
In years past, this has been a harried, busy process that had to be done around our crazy lifestyle. Some years I had "helpers", some years I did them in a rush early in the morning or late at night so that I could get them finished and not have them all eaten before Christmas day.
This year, I have baked almost every day for the entire month of December. Every night, I pour a glass of wine and get to my task. I have made it a point to do it slowly, and enjoy it. I have made it my purpose to enjoy the process, and have turned it into a grown up activity that relaxes me and helps me feel great about the season.
