Earlier this year, my mother-in-law took the kids overnight and they did a similar thing to a tree in her backyard. They used old bread and peanut butter and stuff like that. No fresh cookies made it to the tree though. LOL. I think I'd like to add this to our yearly traditions too. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas, Sandy :-) Oh, Inez, I love that!

We make sugar cookies and decorate them, hang them on string and add pinecones rolled in peanut butter and popcorn. These all go on a tree outside for the animals. We put the rest of the popcorn, stale cereal I collect for a few weeks and some apples around the base of the tree as well. We have done this for nearly 7 years now and the kids look forward to it every year. It is our way of stopping to remember that Christmas is about GIVING not getting. We have a Winter Solstice tree.
