Something Crumby for Kriss Kringle

This week the kids and Keri heard a little Christmas gem on the radio:
How Many Cookies Can Santa Claus Eat? by Tom Paxton

How many cookies can Santa Claus eat?
How hungry will he be?
We'd better pile the plate so high
With cookies nearly to the sky
To feed Saint Nick so he can fly
To kids like you and me

Well, it certainly got Keri thinking about one of our favorite traditions--making treats for Santa.  It was our advent activity for tonight.  This year we did a Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookie that turned out great.  Used whole wheat flout, crunchy PB instead of creamy, and added chocolate chips instead of chopped peanuts.  The kids had a blast pounding the pretzels into bits. 

Everyone got to sample before our little cubs were scooted off to bed.  Somehow, Neal and Keri just know Santa will love them too.
