My mom passed away at the age 90. My four grown daughters adored their grandma! She was a collector of aprons and cookbooks! So, in honor of her, we have a cookie baking day in mid December AND wear her aprons❤️

That’s a sweet way to honor her!

Yesterday my daughter and I made homemade cookies, we started baking together when she was five now she is 48 years Young, she's a blessing in our lives,

One of the gifts we give our son is a hand written letter and what he means to us and how proud we are of him and our prayers for him. We've done this since he was 14 and he's now 26

Growing up in the Philippines , I remember we always do Noche Buena where we gather as a family at the table with good food and deserts at midnight before Christmas day . We give thanks for reason for the season!

Thank you for being “real” and showing the mishaps that might happen when cooking and baking.

A tradition my family has is after church on Christmas Eve we go around looking at Christmas lights

That is what my parents use to do for my sister, me, and my brother after Midnight Mass. The tradition I created with my kids was; Christmas Eve an early service then we all went to the movies to see a Christmas-themed movie. It was fun taking an aisle of seats or more to sit next to one another. Of course the way things are now...scratch that off, huh? 🤪😍🤗🎄

Giveaway is closed!! Attn! I decided to pick 3 winners!! Some comments had been in my ‘held for review’ folder so they weren’t included in the count the first time. So I’m choosing a 3rd winner to make sure!! Thank you to all for entering! Kathy Morin and Ashlee Pryor, Carolyn Edwards! You have won the cookbooks!! 🎊🎊🎊

I love cookbooks !! A friend once said .. Maureen YOU BUY cookbooks to just read em and look at the pictures sometimes..and I do. I’ll go thru each page and mark recipes I will make sooner than later and for what occasion. I have every single cookbook that I ever bought and especially cherish those that were given to me. I love em!

My family started a new tradition for Christmas Eve. Everybody has to make a brand new recipe they've never made before. It can make for some interesting hits and misses.

We've shined up my grandma's silver candlesticks and have lighted them every night this week. I want my kids to have fun memories about 2020 besides the obvious!

For many years , we have for Christmas Eve dinner. We have a Shrimp , with cocktail sauce , fruit, , cheese, olives, and fresh veggie plate. With all we are going to eat Christmas dinner this is a delicious meal. Try it .😊

Every year we do a big cookie exchange with relatives! This year we aren’t gathering but we’re still dropping off cookies at family members houses. My daughter is 2 this year so she “helped” me make them. I absolutely love cooking with her. 😊

I've been so blessed to have all my children and grandchildren home for Christmas! God is good. Love your channel.

You are truly blessed. Covid is rearing its ugly head here. Stay safe, have a blessed Christmas.

We have a Christmas cookie recipe from my great grandmother that we always make and now my daughter has joined in on the fun. They are a must for us every Christmas.

The expressions on the faces of the children were priceless, I have made Christmas rocks since my late husband's grandmother gave me the recipe when we were newlyweds. My children and grandchildren love them.

My family started a tradition 30 plus yrs ago :) we go and look at Christmas Lights on Christmas Eve even tho my 4 kids are grown now they kept that tradition since I moved to Fl a yr ago. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night :)

My family and I always celebrate Christmas Eve by having appetizers as a meal. We love trying new ones and I love looking for new recipes in the cookbooks I collect.

We do that also! I enjoy even more than Christmas dinner on Christmas Day!

I’m pretty certain that Oakland responded “good” when asked how she was doing! & her trying to repeat “I have a cold!” So cute!! I love her little face ♥️✨I make “pigeon poop” (which is similar to your Chex mix that you made) & puppy chow every Christmas. I’ll usually make extra, so that kids can gift some for their teachers before Christmas break! 🎄✨

I actually grew up in Ohio (about 40 minutes from where you grew up!) and one tradition we started doing was letting the younger kids start cooking. By younger, I mean me, and I'm 22 haha. My grandma, mom, and aunt have always done the cooking for big family gatherings, but I recently moved out with my fiance, and have learned how to make homemade bread from scratch - which actually came from an Amish cookbook I have from Sugarcreek, as well as a whole turkey, stuffing, and lots of desserts. I've always loved to cook, but living with my fiance has taught me a whole other level of cooking that I didn't even know I was capable of. I'm in school to be a doctor, but baking and cooking are definitely a huge passion of mine. My mom, grandma, and aunt still love to cook and do it all the time, but now that I help out with family gatherings and cooking, I'm also starting to get my 19 year old cousin into it, as well as my sister who is 18. We've all had so much fun learning how to cook more meals from scratch and just being more involved. Family is everything and starting the tradition of involving the younger kids has been so special. Absolutely love you and your videos :) Merry Christmas!!

When I joined the conservative Mennonite church, I fell in love with a fruit dessert served at every fellowship meal. It has canned fruit (usually home-canned) in a fruity tapioca sort of base - it's all mixed together, needs to be spooned out of the serving dish. So good! And every Mennonite gathering will have a salty snack and a sweet snack. Oh - one more - "bars" are popular - all varieties of bar cookies. Thank you for sharing your kitchen fun with all of us!

I'm in the UK and we always have Plumb pudding after the traditional Christmas Turkey lunch on Christmas day.

Lynette , all looked so yummy and nice. The best - kid‘s reaction to all the goodies , have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🥰☃️🎄😘💕greetings from Germany

My favorite Christmas treat is definitely homemade cinnamon rolls! I learned to bake them the first Christmas that my husband and I were married and it has become our favorite holiday breakfast treat ❤️

Hi from Colorado. Lyn, you are such an awesome Mom. The proof is your happy children. God bless.

My sisters and I made candy today! That's something we do every year and sometimes cookies as well!

I’ve never seen a French cream before - looks delicious! My mom had that Tupperware mold! I really enjoy your cooking videos!

Oh my, you brought back so many memories with that jello mold. My amazing Grandma has the same one that I remember as a child that’s at least 50 yrs old or more. Thanks for memory.

My daughter and I make gingerbread houses every Christmas, we also make and decorate cut outs for my neighbors. It is great mom and daughter time but at the same time an act of love for my neighbors 🥰

We make sugar cookie cutouts every Christmas season, such a fun tradition we do! Love this video! Thanks for the ideas 🎄

I just love the tradition of baking, and wrapping gifts, while listening to Christmas music. Thank you for another great video, and Merry Christmas!

I have an Amish cookbook that I really like. I said I thought I could be Amish, and my son-in-law said,"I thought you were!" A compliment in my book

Lynette, I love all your tips, tricks and encouragement! Thank you for sharing Jesus with others throughout our world! Much love and God Bless from our family to yours from Australia xx

I’ve been trying to duplicate my grandmother’s tollhouse cookie recipe for a long time! This year’s recipe is the closest I’ve come yet!

I always try a new & “fancy” recipe on Christmas morning. It’s something fun for me 😊

Everything looked so good! A family tradition for us growing up was my aunt making fudge for Christmas day at my grandmothers house. She made every kind of fudge you can think of! We would always have a contest and pick which one we liked best. I enjoyed watching the boys reaction!

My family has a tradition that’s been going on for 47 years. We call it Christmas Tree Day. The entire extended family meets in the morning for coffee and donuts. Then we all bundle up and get in our cars and head to our favorite Christmas tree farm. Each family finds their perfect tree. We then head back and eat my grandmothers famous beef vegetable soup and have sandwiches as we talk and enjoy the day together. We are now 5 generations doing this. It’s a tradition we will continue forever!!!!

Yes!!! I would love a cook book! Some of my favorites we traditionally make are Martha Washingtons and fudge!

It all looks so delicious!!! Love hearing about your faith. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

When my grandpa died I found a cook book that the Louisiana side of the family had given to him and grandma years ago. I am a cook book girl and of course I went through it and found a recipe called Hello Dollies. I have made it every year in memory of my grandparents. So easy and so good. I love seeing everyone's traditions. TFS

How generous of you. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

This year we are making almond toffee for those people we just don’t know what to get. So good!

I would love the cookbook. I have bought several over the years. I watch all of your KZread's. I have been to Holme county and shopped at walnut creek foods wonderful. I only watch KZread

This looks so good! Everything turned out beautifully! Loved the boy’s’ reaction to the ribbon jello!

I'm from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We French-Canadians make a traditional ''tourtière'' (meat pie) each holiday season. We also make ''ragoût de boulettes'' (meatball stew). The meatballs are simmered for hours in a sauce made of grilled flour, cloves, cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg and beef stock.

Everything looks delicious, I wish I still had my jello mold! The cookbook would be amazing to have!

Everything looks so lovely, Lynette. Your boys reaction to the jello treats was awesome! My boys still expect peanutbutter fudge and what we call "preacher" cookies.(no bake oatmeal) I hope you have a very Merry Christmas celebrating Jesus birth. Love from Indiana.

Your children excited over the dessert was so cute I remember those days they will have great memories.

The French cream molded dessert looks amazing! I love that you’re willing to try new things. You’re the best!

We always make homemade pizza for xmas eve, let everyone put on their own ingredients on the pizza

As a military family we were often unable to go home for Christmas. So we started a tradition of inviting single sailors, in the same situation, to celebrate with us and I would include their favorite dish at our holiday table, so they might feel a little bit of home. I now have so many cherished recipes with wonderful stories and memories!

One of the things I like to do is collect a new recipe from a friend each year and add it to my recipes in addition to the traditional things I normally make. It is a good way to connect with friends and make new memories. I have recipes from friends I have made over the last 30 plus years.

@@cutesybunny3360 It is easy peasy to make and the kids love to help. A bunt pan works best. There are a gazillion recipes on line. Because there are a gazillion different things you can add. Basicly 4 regular size canisters of biskets, cut each bisket into fourths with scissors. Gallon size ziplock bag filled with about one or more cups cane sugar, two to three teaspoons of cinnamon. Toss the cut up biskets in batches into bag and shake them around. Place the biskets after tossing in the bag in a heavily buttered bunt pan. Mix in a packed cup of brown sugar into a saucepan with a stick of butter bring to boil. Pour over the top and bake at 350 about 30 minutes or until brown on top. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Invert on a round pizza pan. Watch the fun as the kids pull pieces of the wonderful gooeyness! It's hot be careful. You can add nuts, raisins chocolate chips and whatever you can think up! We have always just done the cinnamon! Enjoy!

so glad to see more recipes!!!! Thank you and Merry Christmas! That first dessert is beautiful.

Like all families we have had certain food traditions. I remember taking over a few that my grandmother always made, now I am watching my grandchildren take them over, ages 8 to 16. As I watch this happen and they each having a certain item they now bring to the table has been such a blessing. Makes me wonder now how my grandmother felt. I watch my mother awe over each item as her great grandchildren paraded them in for her inspection and the joy on her face. Your recipes look wonderful, God bless

I am so glad I found your show! I look forward to your show each week 😊

I would love that cookbook! Enjoy learning about the Amish traditions and your Holmes County tours.

So many yummy treats! The cookies you made in the muffin tins looked amazing!

Ooh I love the flower shaped mixing bowls!

We always get together for Christmas dinner. We go to my daughter's house in the morning and watch the little ones open their gifts. Dinner is served at 2 so the kids can play before bed.

Wonderful job, girl! Your kids are blessed to have you. ❤️

You are my hometown connection to Ohio. I am now living in Alabama the state I was born in for the last 29 years. I still love Ohio and the Amish/Mennonite communities there!! I really enjoy your vlogs Lynette Thank you.

As a child we always had a tradition of having some of our favorite foods for supper on Christmas Eve, reading the Christmas story, then giving presents to each other. We now do that our house! Also I loved this festive video! It all looks so good!

I grew up conservative Mennonite so many of the recipes you share are part of my childhood as well. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Merry Christmas to all!

All the blessings of this holiday season to you and your beautiful family Lynette! (We like the little square pretzel, Rolo and a cashew on top!)

All the treats are so pretty. A beautiful dessert table. Thank you for your encouraging words. Water for the thirsty.

Everything looks sooo yummy! I may give the "french cream" a try. Happy holidays to you and the family!

Love my family and friends and my family traditions; and that’s why I can relate to you and your family! Greetings from Goshen, Indiana!

I've been making recipes from a journal that my great great aunt kept - they are amazing. I love really old recipes! She used to make cinnamon bread and I can't wait to try it next.

You don't know half how blessed you are that you can make all these yummie things without having to worry about children with food allergies. I will have to bake my tradtional cakes again this year, dairy free and nut free. Wishing you and your family Merry christmas from The Netherlands.

Lynette this cheery video, as I viewed while enjoying my lunch, added uplift to me for my cookie baking this afternoon; wish we were together now for your special coffee making before I get started! Smiles and waves, Beth in North West Montana

I love your recipes! I love to try new ones. Every year I make different cookies and candies and make all my neighbors a goodie dish for their Christmas gift from me and my husband.

Just ordered the cookbook! Can't wait to get it. Love your desserts! Your molded french cream was absolutely beautiful....should be on the cover of a cookbook! Great job!

Love watching your videos. One of our traditions is Christmas morning breakfast that my son cooks for everyone. It’s always lots of fun!

My daughter and I spend a few days, doing our major Holiday baking; has been a tradition for years.
