As you prepare for the holiday, try a few of these Christmas cookie recipes.
Here are a few of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes. Most of these are easy to make and kid friendly. Enjoy! Ingredients: Crush the cookies in a plastic bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor until the cookies are almost powder-like. Mix in the softened cream cheese and stir well. You can make as many different sizes as you want or have space for. Microwave the candy coating and be ready to apply right away, while it is still hot. Once it hardens, you won't be able to cover the cookies. Add your favorite sprinkles while candy coating is still soft. Set cookies on wax paper and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes, at least.

If the temperatures dip below freezing these next few weeks, cover them up until their normal blooming time arrives.
If you planted daffodil or tulip bulbs last fall (I planted 110 “Pink Charm” and “Tahiti” daffodil bulbs), it’s a pretty good bet that you’re already seeing a couple inches of plant poking out of the ground. Out my living room window, I see a sea of lime-green spears. Thanks to a mild winter with unseasonably high temperatures, sprouting bulbs is indeed a common sight, said Ryan Youngblood, owner of Artistic Landscape Associates in Rochester. “We’ve had a few clients call with concern, as they have noticed the new tender growth starting to appear,” added the landscaper, who planted a few thousand daffodil bulbs last fall at various client homes.
