A Batch of Joy
A few Christmas’ ago, I made a batch of Christmas cookies.
It was Christmastime 2019. Before COVID-19, before I finished college. Much has changed since then. Today, I came across these photos on my phone, looking for another image. It was no mistake.
- Were they super fun to make? Yes!
- Did I intend on eating them all? Yes!
- Was my kitchen a mess? Yes…but all worth it!
My mom thought why not give some away to our friends who could use a little making spirits bright.

So, I wrapped a few up into some containers. Picking which person should have which color and shape, I also kept a few for myself 🙂
Our friends were very happy and thankful for the cookies. They really enjoyed the special holiday treat! I have to admit, I was a little sad to share the treats. I would have loved to keep them all for my mom and I, even though there was plenty to share.
The 1st thing that came to mind when I saw the Christmas cookie photos was, “These are the ones I shared with some friends of ours.”
“They really enjoyed those, and I enjoyed making them,” I thought today.
Share a batch of joy this Christmas.
Be kind, have fun, and always remember to Be Yourself Be Strong And Be Beautiful®
