I know it’s gonna be good when Mary puts on her apron and shows us the recipes she grew up with! Thank you for sharing!

I have received my order of three cookbooks for Christmas. They are beautifully done with large clear pictures, high quality binding, and they are so well organized. I bought 3 books two to give away and one for myself, but when a friend saw the cook book she wanted one, so I gave mine away as well. I will have to order another one. Great job on designing a beautiful cook book.

You putting your cookies outside in the snow to cool or chill up reminds me so much of how I did it back when I was young, before all the cooking shows that have you cool them on racks and have all your ingredients at room temperature. Thanks for the memories, Mary. 🎄

We often stored milk in the garage during holiday baking if the refrigerator was full.

[@reflections516]

A MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family. Thank you for bringing a calming element into our life. God bless, Susan

I love to make the Russian Tea Balls (we call them “Russian Tea Cakes” or Mexican Wedding Cookies. We use ground walnuts in them. Filling a decorative jar and giving them as gifts - they look like a jar of snowballs! I’m glad you and your family like them, too. Merry Christmas, Mary!🎄🎄🎄

[@lisafriend5535]

The hard candy is so pretty. The snowball cookies are one of my favorites.

[@peterwhite9261]

I often chill outside also. All of the recipes look delicious. ❤

[@heatheryoung9949]

Merry Christmas Mary, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

[@solavisa]

Oh, how I love your weekly videos! Thank you for inviting us over for a wonderful visit via youtube! Merry Christmas from northwest Florida (where it rarely snows)!

[@kayburris8464]

I remember eating that candy when I was little, haven't seen it in years. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@TheRustyTrike]

I got my cookbook and stand a few weeks ago. I got the unfinished stand and stained it to match my kitchen table. ❤❤❤

[@lisatrautner1274]

I have my Great-Grandfather's pan from Germany and make a cookie called Kipfel. It's similar to the tea balls you made, only they are rolled in vanilla sugar. My Great-Grandfather was a baker.

[@normacooper6377]

Never heard of these date filled cookies. Thanks for sharing them.

[@karianne-haga]

My grandmother is originally from Pennsylvania and made that candy every Christmas my entire childhood! So many precious memories!

[@cindyclark9145]

I love all of your old fashioned loves! I’m with you on that totally! Your cookies turned out so beautifully! 🌲🌲🌲

[@junehawks4666]

Oh gosh, we heated with wood for over 30 years . Had a free standing heater. It was the best heat ever. I miss it the most of all since moving. Merry Christmas

[@jaimiebryan8844]

The hard tack colors are awesome! I love it. It looks very old fashion.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I love the Russian tea cakes!! So good!!!!

[@janiebea100]

It’s bitter sweet to watch you using the porch as your refrigerator or freezer. My late husband and I would make the hard candy in about five flavors and we used our porch to get it to harden. I miss those days.

[@pjsans2221]

I love smelling the wood burn in a fire place or wood stove and hearing the crackling sound of the fire burning it just an extra layer of warmth somehow. It’s so simple but soothing

[@treasureslayer3049]

Glad you stuck it out with the hard candy, it looked like beautiful sea glass in the jar. Merry Christmas Mary

[@susanjackson6228]

A lovely video Mary. Your perseverance is amazing. You inspire me while leaving me feeling calm. Thank you! Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas. 🎄🇨🇦

[@WVDi]

[@lindaeshbach6494]

Yes we used to make this for Christmas too we did cinnamon in red, wintergreen in green,sassafras in orange, clove which is a favorite of mine in blue

[@nonisnest9718]

I make a variation of the Snowball cookies. My family says that is when they know it is Christmas! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@sandip.7968]

It's fun to watch you in the kitchen. I came upon your channel by chance and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the different treats you made. I'll be trying all of your recipes except the finger jello. Have a blessed Christmas. May it glow with the goodness and grace of God.

[@jodibarcey6217]

I remember putting fudge out to chill in the snow. My dad was fond of “snow ice cream” which was a rare treat living in the south! I enjoyed your holiday baking, Mary!

[@nannychachi]

[@debbied3116]

Thank you for the recipes , I want to try the peanut butter cup snacks and the protein balls . The date filled cookies looked like they’d be a mouthful.

[@janredfern3218]

So much fun thank you for sharing. Good job little mama.

[@MarilynDean-i5b]

Will be trying a few of your treats, I always make the little white cookies, my mother called Brazil nut snowballs, my mother was a polish cook and every thing was made from scratch. I pulled out her polish cook book and I love making her favorite cookies, which were chewy oatmeal date cookies,sugar cookies the Santa cookies, were her master piece done to perfection. Her passion was being in the kitchen,starting at 5 o’clock in the morning preparing nutritional meals for her family. At our home, friends and family members would stop by for the Christmas season and all our special events,just to gather and enjoy Rita’s Polish baked goods. Love your channel Mary. I am always! waiting for Wednesday mourning. Wishes for a Very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year to you and your family. Marilyn from Mi. ❤️🌲🪵☃️🎁🙏🏻✝️

[@timeaaraouzou710]

Dearest Mary, wanting to thank you for such valuable content over the years and to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and peaceful Christmas season. I wonder whether I am making it up, but you looked so tired today it made me pray for you. Take enough time to rest! ❤

I'm sitting here enjoying the crackle and warmth of my old-fashioned wood cooking stove. Thank you for these great recipes. I, too, love the Mexican wedding cookies at Christmas time. Grandma always makes the best. Merry Christmas from my family here in the Sangre de Cristo mountains to yours. ☃️

[@christiecochran-lowe2298]

Thank you for sharing.💗

[@traciwenger2681]

I like that you always try to cook or bake healthy. Per google "Alternatives to Karo syrup: Maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, brown rice syrup." I've cooled cakes outside also, cold weather has a few perks. Love the wood heat as well except for lack of moisture in home. God bless and Merry Christmas!

[@rosemaryharris6064]
