As long as I can remember, baking has always been a part of our holiday tradition. I baked with my mom, she baked with her mom, and my kids bake with me. I think it’s that way in most families. Holiday baking is a family tradition. #MemoriesInTheBaking
We’ve had some kitchen mishaps over the years – there was the year that we burned the cookies, the year that we ran out of butter, the year we had the flu and could barely make it through the first batch, and we’ll probably never forget the year I was in my 20s and drank a little too much wine the night before. Hungover baking isn’t always the best idea! We had lots of laughs that year (at my expense of course!). Not that I haven’t had a chance to get my revenge on my mom a time or two either. It’s always fun, even when one of us is a little bit “off”. Holiday baking with my family is something I’ve looked forward to since I was a kid, and I really look forward to continuing the tradition with my own kids for years to come.
