Holiday Traditions: Sugar Cookies to Dancing

The holiday season is here! With the joy and cheer that the holidays bring, there are also certain tasks that we all do every year in preparation.

We at Patch want to know what your holiday traditions are. Whether you take the time to make your house light up enough to double your electric bill for the month or you take pleasure in making your tree the most perfect shape, we want to hear the activities that you look forward to each year.

For me, it’s making the sugar cookies. Every year, I get all the ingredients to make a whole mess of sugar cookies and get to work.

Throughout the course of making the cookies, I’ll inevitably burn myself, curse at one of the cooking tools and somehow get flour all over the house.

When it’s time to decorate the cookies, the frosting ends up covering the table and sprinkles will be everywhere. It’s a mixed bag for my wife, who loves eating the finished product and delights at my awkwardness, but does not want to clean up.

My wife makes pecan pie every year and dances in the kitchen while doing so. She puts on some Louis Prima and spends hours dancing and singing in the kitchen while cooking up the desserts.

What’s the one tradition that you do every year? Let us know in the comments!
