23. This isn't trivia... however it is a chance for anyone willing/wanting to share any traditions they or their family might have during this season?

For me.... my favorite tradition i personally have is to bake and make fudge. i bake 1 repeat cookie (pizzelle an Italian waffle cookie) and 1 repeat fudge (simple dark chocolate) every year, and make all others new. This allows me to learn and try new things i may never have done so before. This year i made 3 different types of fudge and 5 types of cookies. i then give out goodie bags to those around me like co-workers, family and neighbors. This is this year's stash counted out for co-workers. (20 bags.)
