So, this morning we headed over to Mimi and Grandad's house for some cookie baking fun! Before rolling the dough & cutting out shapes, each person has to tie on the apron that my great grandmother wore to do all of her cooking.
Even the older participants (me & my sisters & my mom) tie on the apron before beginning. When my brother is in town, he is expected to wear the apron & (to his credit) he is always a good sport! We missed him this morning & sent lots of cookie energy up to Boston. haha!! 
Grandad put the cookies in a low spot, so that little people could sample the deliciousness!!

Tradition is so wonderful!
i often find myself wondering why I practically likk myself this time of year with all the crafts, baking, honoring and reveling that goes on and I need to remind myself that I'm making traditions for my children that I never really had. They start here with ME so that hopefully they can be passed on.... and someday my great-great grandbabies will wear MY apron or use my cookie cutter. So, it's worth all this initial effort!
What a wonderful family you must have! Glad you had such a special time!
Happy Holidays!
