HG Very Merry Holiday Party - Day 7

It's OUR dayyyyyy!!

Oh yeah.  You know what THAT means?

Well if you know Lizzie B at all you know it means THIS:

Get up and BOOGIE!!

Preferably dressed in holiday garb...and a retro classic wig if you have one handy. Which you should.

Now that you've got your groove on with us, we'll share a couple of our fav's about the holiday season.

First of all, it's all about decking the halls! I save Christmas cards that are sent to us each year and use festive red ribbon to tie them on the garland going up the banister.  I LOVE to see the cards each year, new AND old.

One of Beth's fav holiday traditions is getting out her North Pole Village every year.

And of course, we both do a LOT of holiday baking!  I mean, who doesn't? Ok, if you don't, you at least BUY some yummy holiday goodies, right?

One tradition I started when my family lived in France was baking a Buche de Noel on Christmas Eve.  

But honestly, what would the holiday season be without COOKIES???

I found THIS delish recipe on Pinterest last year from Tatertots and Jello, Peppermint Whoopie Pies, YUM!

For 7 of our Lizzie B favorite Holiday Cookie recipes, click *here* or type "Cookie Countdown" in the search box at the top of the blog page.

THE ultimate Christmas cookie in Lizzie B Land is a one that has been a tradition in my family since I was little. It just wasn't Christmas if my Mom didn't whip up a batch of these tasty treats.  However, they never had a name, we just referred to them as the powdery-sugar cookies...in recent years however, my sister and I named them...  

"Grammy Grahams"

And now...for the free project you've been waiting for!

A sweet Poinsettia Pincushion. Such a fun little creative gift! Fill the jar base with a little sewing kit for your quilty friends; thimble, pins, needles, small scissors.

How cute would it be filled with ribbon candy? SO festive!

Cookie COUNTDOWN! Cookie #1

Welcome to our 

MERRY CHRISTMAS COOKIE COUNTDOWN!

We're gearing up for a FUN week of baking and 

sharing.  If YOU have recipes to share, PLEASE do!

Leave a comment with your recipe, or send an email

to us at lizziebgirls@gmail.com.

NOW....LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

First up....is the cookie my kids are anxiously waiting for.

It's one my mom used to make for Christmas and was

definitely MY favorite growing up. 

I asked her where she got

the recipe and she thinks she

clipped it out of the newspaper 

back in the 70's.  

I think that's the equivalent of finding a recipe on a blog and 

pinning it to Pinterest.

Anyhoo!  She never had a name for them.  They were the 

no-bake cookies.  So, my sister and I decided, a few years ago,

to deem them with a name.  We call them...

"Grammy Grahams"

Would they win a grammy?  Sure, if cookies could, they would 

definitely be a top runner!  But no, we use the word to lovingly 

describe my mom, who is Grandma to these other two lovely 

ladies posing with me in these pics.

And "Grahams" because the basic yumminess has to do with 

graham cracker crumbs!

BTW...these pics were from a photo shoot last 

year as the recipe was featured in the Nov/Dec issue 

of the Mark Lipinski's Christmas 365 magazine.

NOW...they are the feature cookie in OUR 

Dream. Laugh. Create. eMagazine!  

To get the recipe....

Simply click on Issue 3 over there

on the right sidebar.

The recipe is on page 27!

And enjoy some fun Holiday crafts as well!

sharing tomorrow!  I'm off to buy some mini-marshmallows....
