Treasured Christmas Favorites

Often during the Christmas season people give gifts to family and friends, but we have already been given the greatest gift we will ever receive.  Our greatest treasure is the gift the Lord gave us in the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ, which we celebrate during Christmas. 
 
My husband and I have a Christmas tradition.  It begins with huge amounts of preparation and baking spread over several days.  We fill tins, plates, platters, or other containers with Christmas goodies and give them away to family and friends.  This will be our 12th year.  Each year we've adjusted recipes, tried new varieties or different packaging, or added new recipes. 

Here during the month of December, I will be sharing some of our favorite recipes as well as some new things we're trying out.  We hope you enjoy them and will share some of your favorites, too.
