You can provide a plastic baggie after the icing has set to store leftovers for each child to take home. If you have the energy…
Pin itOldie, but goodie from 2008: No, we don’t celebrate Santa. Yes, we do celebrate Christmas. Do we care if you celebrate Santa? Nope. Do you care if we choose not to? Yes.
