The holidays are almost here! One of my favorite parts of the holidays is all the wonderful holiday desserts. I love to bake and eat them. I especially love to make cookies for my family and friends.

So much of the holidays revolve around food and desserts are one of the best parts. There is nothing quite like the smell of things baking around the holidays. It makes the home seem so warm and welcoming.

This year I even set up a Christmas Recipe Book so I can keep all of my favorite Christmas recipes in one place and never have to worry about losing them. It’s really helping me be more organized this year.
