My favorite memory is from the last Christmas my grandfather was alive. I was in 5th grade. My Nannie gave my sister and me huge boxes of doll clothes she had made. She even made booties from her own sweater. For some reason that seemed to me the ultimate sacrifice- to give up your sweater for a doll. Our family was all together that year. My next favorite Christmas was last year. My sister and her family came up from Georgia. It was a great because we had snow the whole time, and her kids have never had a white Christmas. We rarely do either, so it was fun for all of the cousins to get to play in the snow together.

My fondest memories are of my mother in law and i makinf Kefflies. We put a very big bowl of them in the garage to keep them cool,and out of site out of mind.But when christmas came. the bowl was empty. Seems like the four of us,husband father and mother in law had been sneaking them. LOL. We had to make more for the rest of the family to enjoy. She has past away now,but I think of her everytime I make Keiflees.

My favorite memory is of my first Christmas with my Hubby. I decided I was going to make him real cut out cookies, the grandma who raised him only made drop cookies, so he had never had cut out cookies. I cut baked and decorated with a paint brush no less for like 6 hours! He did love it, but wow what a lot of work. he bought me my very first teddy bear the same year, what a lovely holiday it was. Now, 33 years later he has become scrooge and grumps when I set up the tree! LOL oh well, one of these days I will make the cut out cookies for him again and maybe he will get his Christmas spirit back!

Let’s see- living with a father who has a DRY sense of humor… how about the year my mom said she wanted a 14 carat necklace. She opened the box Christmas morning and Daddy had put rivets into 14 carats and strung them up for her. Of course, in the bottom of the box was a beautiful gold necklace…. or the year Daddy decided to fix Mom’s habit of “snooping” under the tree, and wrapped a bag of manure/fertilizer! Shall I go on?

These cookies look so good! They actually look like the sugar cookies that my grandmother from Kentucky used to make every year. She rolled them in colored sugar just the same way. The grandkids mowed through the cookies so fast that she had to make a new batch every day… I got her to write down the recipe for me a year or so before she passed away, but I misplaced the index card it was on (I’m sure it’s around somewhere though). I will have to make this recipe this Christmas.

Also, I want to share a cheapo method of making colored sugar that I figure you may appreciate since you’re like me and want to save money. All you do is put some granulated sugar (or you can use the bigger grains of sugar, like Sugar in the Raw brand) in a plastic baggie and add a few drops of food coloring. Seal the bag and shake it up really well so the color gets evenly distributed. Add more color until it’s as bright as you want. Spread the sugar out on plates or wax paper or foil for a couple of hours until it’s dry. Ta da! No more $4 little bottles of colored sugar!
