I baked these Christmas Tree Brownies for a recent Christmas gathering. So easy and delicious!
This is my favorite time of year. I love everything - well, almost everything - about the Christmas season. Every year I feel like a little child instead, looking forward to the magic of Christmas. And now as a parent, I find myself trying to recreate the magic of Christmas for my own child. It is too easy to get swept up in trying to do too much, though. Buying too many presents, obsessing over the perfectly decorated house, trying to bake the best food and entertain like nothing else. Sometimes seeing Christmas through the eyes of a young child makes the whole season a lot clearer. Of course there's an element of "What will Santa bring me?" But there's so much joy and happiness watching the Christmas magic unfold in the everyday traditions, gathering with family and friends, and simplifying. Taking time to focus on the story and message of Christmas and spreading love and peace. That's the magic.
Mr and Mrs Claus - a family tradition at the table as long as I can remember.
