Christmas

These cookies are nice and chewy on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. They have a wonderfully soft texture from using both shortening and butter. When you bake these cookies,your house will smell like Christmas!

Delicious cookie bars enjoyed at christmas time

This is one of my FAVORITE holiday recipes. Our family loves to eat it with chips or crackers. We make it at thanksgiving as well. It is very pretty and “Christmasy” looking.

Olympia Creams is an old Stevens family recipe usually made around the Holidays. The creamy texture and slight caramel taste make this a favorite. Though you'll need a fair amount of time to stir, it's still worth it. NOTE: This recipe came from Grandma Lillian Stevens. Mom copied it from somewhere and the instructions were pretty cryptic. It took trial and error to figure out the "temperature of new milk." After several failed attempts and years of trying we finally got it down. As far as we know, our family is the only one on the Davis side who can make it. We have never added nuts, I have estimated the amount that might be added. EXTRA NOTE: This recipe doesn't exist on the internet. It must be called something else.

This is the stew we have on Christmas Day.

The English Toffee that we have every Christmas. When you make this toffee, you also make sweet Christmas memories.

Shortbread that we make at Christmas every year. It's really simple and oh, so good!
