Ahh, the day after Thanksgiving. There will be no Black Friday shopping here. We have a much better plan. We’re baking our Christmas cookies today! After a wonder breakfast of pumpkin pie and coffee, still on the good dishes because everything tastes better on the good dishes. We will plan out which recipe to start with. After my Dad leaves for deer camp Mom will head over here to join us.
This year we have decided on four different kinds of cookies. Chocolate chip, no self respecting Green can have Christmas without the chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate No Bake Cookies, or Cow Pies as they are known in our house. Cut Out Cookies and Ginger Bread Cookies, the boys love to cut out and decorate these. I’m not sure where we’ll start yet but I would say we’ve got a full day ahead of us.
Then of course we’ll be having left-overs for supper. This is always a favorite part of Thanksgiving for me. I love having a week’s worth of left-overs in the fridge and making turkey soup, turkey casserole and turkey pot pie.
Who needs the craziness at the malls and shopping centers? I prefer to have my Christmas shopping done by now or at least the bulk of it. Then we can sleep in, I managed to get to 6:30 before Sally woke from her turkey induced coma to want outside. Instead of a stressful day that started in the middle of the night navigated crowds and rushing around to different stores, I get another relaxing, fun day with family. Yes, this is one of my favorite days of the year because I get to spend it with my Mom and my boys making cookies and memories
