Special Mother's Day Entry I love Christmas time, not because of the presents, but because that's when mom made Christmas candy and cookies. As I grew older I helped her and this past year was the best as my nieces helped out. Passing on this tradition that my mom started has been wonderful. She didn't have a mother to give her traditions to pass on, but she made her own, for us. This one is a family favorite. And my nieces had a ball trying to make it like grandmas.
