December has arrived and with it all the traditions of Christmas. Christmas carols, Christmas Cake, and of course Christmas Cookies.
I researched the origins of a few of these traditions. There are many websites featuring the history of Christmas traditions. Some even let you "Share your Christmas miracles, traditions and cookies"

My favourite was Laura Legend’s tale of the Christmas cookies…
All around the world children practice the tradition of leaving Christmas cookies out for Santa Clause on Christmas Eve. As the myth goes, Santa gets hungry flying around all over the world delivering Christmas gifts to all the good boys and girls and he needs a snack.

My recipe for this week is a favourite of Santa's in our house.
