Personal Notes:
Granny made these cookies and hung them on her tree. One of my favorite parts of Christmas at her house was getting to eat a cookie off of the tree. My first year in college, I got a Christmas care package that include a mini tree, popcorn, cranberries, needle and thread, and a box of Granny's cookies. She had sewn them down onto a piece of cardboard so that the more delicate shapes wouldn't break: The wise men; the camel; the elephant; the Santa, and so many more.
