my mom used to sew clothes for my sister and me. She made us party dresses of velveteen. That Christmas we got dolls with matching outfits from the leftover fabric, like a Civil War era costume with cape and bonnet. The dolls were sitting on the sofa when we came down on Christmas morning.
Also, we used to decorate cut-out sugar cookies with my mom. This year I passed on her recipe and some cutters to my stepson, who makes cookies with his kids.
