The most beautiful time of the year, Christmas time is finally here and I bet you are as excited as I am. With our tree all set up and decorated, we are in full Christmas spirit at home. But, I felt like something was missing. This year Christmas will be a bit low-key as compared to previous years and finding ways to make the most of it with family is the best thing to do. So, to spend quality family time and to celebrate the festivities we decided to bake and decorate Christmas cookies together. I think simple fun activities like these are great for that much needed break from routine and for bringing the family together in the kitchen. Find more fun Christmas content here.
