Blog Hop - Advent Calendar - December 1

DECEMBER 1

Happy December!  Welcome to the December Blog Hop!  Here we are at the beginning of a new month and new Christmas season.  I decided for our blog challenge and assignment that I would basically turn my blog into an Advent Calendar.  Each day you open my posts you will find a different Christmas symbol and calendar day.

One of the blog hop assignments for today was to give the recipe to my favorite Christmas cookie.  I had to do a little research to find out what they're called. I am not a baker so I only have them when someone else offers them.
