These carved works of art served as a sort of storyboard that told the news of the day, bearing the likeness of new kings, emperors, and queens, or religious symbols.

Although it is not possible to share our home-baked cookies this Christmas, we can certainly share our favorite Christmas Cookie recipes! Perhaps it is also a way to share some of our happy Christmastime memories, and enable you to enjoy baking some new, happy Christmastime memories too! What’s my favorite Christmas Cookie memory? Well, it must have been a several weeks before Christmas 1968. My sister thought it might be fun to bake Gingerbread cookies to decorate our Christmas tree. We found a recipe in my Betty Crocker Cookbook, and my sister, Jean, suggested we add more flour to be sure the cookies would be strong enough to hang and last on the tree. We cut out our Gingerbread Boys, carefully placed them on the cookie sheet, and poked a little hole in the top of each one for the string—we probably used a pencil.
