In the Christmas Bakery...

"In der Weihnachtsbäckerei, gibt es manche Leckerei..." This German Song basically says that when you're baking for Christmas you'll end up with a lot of tasty treats! And that's what I did.
It's a tradition in Germany to bake "Weihnachtsplätzchen" (Christmas cookies) during December in joyful anticipation of Christmas. They come in all sizes, shapes and tastes. My Mum and I usually make about 5-8 different types each year.
This year, of course, we can't bake together. So I thought I could at least try to introduce my American roommates to a few German holiday traditions.
