NEMO | For some reason I started thinking about all the sweet treats that we always had at our Christmas celebrations of years past and realized that we don't have them anymore.
Some of what I remember are: Hard candy, like cinnamon and a toffee chocolate similar to Heath Bars.
Cookies, there must have been a dozen different types like Springerlies and some kind of a yellow type that us kids would decorate but there wasn't always a lot of those because the raw batter was so good that we ate way more of that than we should have. Some type that you would push a chocolate drop into the middle of that I think had peanutbutter as an ingredient.
Sugar cookies (we still have those because the wife has the old family recipe and it's amazing).
Pies: Always Pumkin and Pecan. We still do the Pumkin. Datenut Rolls were always a tradition too.
Seems like there was always a cake or two including a Fruitcake (yuck don't miss that).
Anyway, around here we have narrowed the sweet selection pretty much down to the Sugar cookies and the Pumkin pie and maybe a frozen keylime or whatever is on sale.
Just wondering what you remember having as a child and if that tradition has kind of faded away with the older generation?
Merry Christmas everyone!
