My cousin, Janet, posted this on Facebook tonight, and Mom and I saw it right after we finished bowls of Peppermint Stick ice cream. It’s that time of year. No time to read, but time to eat cookies, crackers and meat and cheese, and ice cream. My nephew and his wife sent Mom a wonderful box of homemade cookies. Mmm. The gingerbread men were so good. And, of course, Mom made gumdrop bars.

What about you? Do you have any traditional foods you enjoy this time of year?
