Christmas is just around the corner in this crazy and difficult year we all had to deal with. I hope all of us will find some peace for our souls and mind during these next week. And maybe this year we will avoid expensive gifts, but decide to make small little gifts from the bottom of our hearts. This Christmas cookie box was imagined as a lovely gift you can make and send to your friends or family.
