For many years I thought making Christmas special meant a major event. We would pay close to $100 or more (not even counting gas) to go to a Christmas show, lights, or other event put on by a major company.
It took a while for me to finally realize, Christmas was already made special by Christ. There is nothing I can do to top this. With this realization, I found that my focus was all wrong. Instead of going somewhere to make a memory I have started staying home and enjoying traditional things. Hot cocoa, Apple Cider, cookies, etc… with my family. Guess what, less stress and much more enjoyable.
So here are a few recipes that I have found that are fun. If you have any you would like to share please leave a comment.
