RE: Food Fight Friday - Flaky Christmas Pies
What a wonderful post. Homemade gifts, received or given, are always so special. For someone to take the time to make a gift, rather than pop some $$$ on the desk of a cashier is always very special.
My mom would spend weeks in the kitchen prior to the holidays. Her homemade candies, jellies and cookies were to kill for.
Her apple jelly is a topic of conversation till this day. My all time favorite was her butter cookies, and her chocolate covered raisins. A holiday does not go by without our children talking about Gram and her wonderful homemade goodies that she created with so much love in her heart.
Boy do I miss her.😢
Your Mom sounds like she was a wonderfully kind lady; you're so right, a homemade gift certainly means so much more! I'm actually busy writing a series on homemade gifts for ADSactly; there's a whole lot of magical stuff one can make with simple ingredients. Thank you so much for your heart-warming reply, it's great to have good memories like that not so!
As we continue to decorate our home for the holidays, we will be breaking out all of the homemade gifts that mom made for us. I will also be doing something along this line, as I share all of the wonderful homemade gifts she has given to us over the years.
