In celebration of the holiday season, I'm sharing some of my holiday favorites: 

Favorite holiday cookie recipe:
 
Snowball cookies
1 C soft butter
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 C all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 C chopped nuts

Mix together butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Sift flour and salt and mix in. Stir in chopped nuts. Chill 2 hours. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place 2 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees until set, but not brown (10-12 minutes). While warm, roll in powdered sugar. Cool and roll again. Makes 24 cookies.

Favorite holiday book:

Christmas Returns to Pottersville by Dennis Higgins.
Full of imagination, Christmas Returns to Pottersville is a clever combination of the familiar stories of Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) and It's a Wonderful Life. It's a well-written, quick read that offers hope that kindness and love can make the world a better place.

Bubba and Squirt's Mayan Adventure 

An ancient Mayan civilization!

That's what Bubba and Squirt find when they travel through the mysterious vortex for another wild adventure. There they meet archeologists who are unearthing priceless artifacts.

But someone is stealing them. And an encounter with the Tate Duende awakens magic within Bubba. Throw in the mysterious Alux and a new discovery and things get sticky.

Will Bubba and Squirt solve the mystery, or will they be stuck forever in the jungles of Belize?
