Cookies for Santa

I am really big on traditions. But this year, it seems like time got away from us, so some of our traditions were saved until the last minute and done with a few shortcuts. Cookies for Santa was one. Every year we make these really yummy sugar cookies that my mom always makes. Usually we spend a lot of time decorating with homemade frosting. But, this year, we barely got them made Christmas eve afternoon. So, instead of homemade frosting, we got to use white frosting from a can. But, the kids still had a blast and got to give their cookies to Santa. Tradition preserved - albeit in a simpler way this year.
