Hi
When Christmas is drawing near, I could experience emotions
of thankfulness, gratefulness and happiness as it's always associated
with love and joy. I'm just wondering do you have the same feeling as me?
Christmas
is one of the wonderful times for family and friends gatherings. When the transformation of Christmas seasons
is drawing near, I’m so glad that my 2 grown-up boys are reminded about
family getaway.
My family will usually
spend few days away from Singapore; away from our usual routine. If there’s no
plan to travel far, we’ll usually drive up to our favourite destination - Kuala
Lumpur or Malacca. The purpose is not to
shop for Christmas or New Year. The boys know it well that this is the time of the year that we come together to count
our blessings and take stock of our lives and also to recap the happenings –
good and bad, in 2013.
Look at these beautiful cookies!
This
year’s Christmas is very special to me because baking and cooking have become
my hobby and it has also been put to good cause. For the last 2 weeks, I've been baking cookies along with other
fellow sisters for the old folks in our church dialect group.
Baking
together is another form of gathering too.
Gather to discuss the recipe and bake together. It’s not only contributing to good cause but
also enhances, develop and nurture friendships too.
I’d
like to recommend this recipe to you. The
recipe for this charity cookie is deprived by Lay Choo and we modified further
to suit the old folks.
Hope you'll like this simple
but yet yummy cookies!
This Christmas, let us reap friendships through
these hearty cookies.
