I think people that bake Christmas cookies fall into two categories: 1. The families who bake several kinds of fairly traditional complicated cookies every year and it is time-consuming, expensive and sort of an ordeal. Your back aches and there’s a lot of almond grinding and zesting. Some of them are pretty low yield. You seem to winnow out more recipes every year- trying to focus on the ones that taste the best - the most bang for your buck, labor and taste wise.

2. The fun bakers, willing to take short cuts, to try non-traditional Xmas cookies, and not above supplementing the tray with some store bought fudge. These are the bakers who prioritize making sure the kids have fun- specialty type decorating with marshmallow and tinted frosting. coconut, candy eyes,etc.-  Santa and Snowmen. Their cookies are tasty and may be traditional but they are more flexible in their baking choices.

Of course, number 1 feels superior to 2. And number 2 wonders why you would kill yourself over some dry-ass cookies. I am Italian and belong to group 1 but  no longer bake certain cookies I ate as a kid. I am more selective.  I hate Italian fig cookies.[/quote]

Haha I love this. Probably goes for most holidays. I stopped making honey cake for Rosh Hashanah because everyone wanted to see it on the table but no one actually liked it. It was actually very good for honey cake but … still honey cake which my extended family just doesn’t care for. [/quote]
