Two Christmas Traditions I love:
Christmas Meat Pie. A newer tradition, I can't get over how much I love ground pork cooked in a pastry crust. This year the crust included pastry stars which not only is pretty, but gives you more crust. Delicious!

Christmas cookies.

The MAunts get together and bake many kinds of Christmas cookies in preparation of the big day. There is also a baklava making day. I really enjoy having all of the different varsities of homemade cookies. I also like that we always have a few Greek cookies. I appreciate even more that they appear without any work on my part. A cookie baker, I'm not.
