Favorite Christmas memory;
It was the 23rd of December, or the day before the night before Christmas. Christof was helping his mother bake cookies for Christmas day, a small tradition that had been going on their family for generations. Music was playing softly in the background as his mother hummed along and danced around the kitchen, mixing the ingredients and putting sheet after sheet of cookies into the oven. The entire house smelled like the sweet aroma of cookies. Since Christof was still a child, he mostly watched his mother and stole mouthfuls of cookie dough. Suddenly, just as his mother put a batch of sugar cookies in to bake, the two beans heard sirens going off outside. They rushed into the cold to see what was the matter, and saw a fire truck decorated with lights and garland going around the street. On top of the truck was none other than Santa Claus himself, throwing candy canes down to the people gathered below. Christof laughed and ran to gather some of the sweet peppermint candies. He and his mother stayed outside and waved at the truck until it disappeared into the night. As they walked back inside, their smiles vanished when the smell of something burning confronted their nostrils. "My cookies!" Christof's mother yelled. She ran to the kitchen and quickly pulled out the sheet of overdone confections. Christof cautiously entered, and began laughing when he saw the cookies. "Mama, they look just like me!" he said amusedly. She laughed and agreed with him. Luckily, they were able to replaced the burned cookies and had plenty to go around. ❄
