For many of us, the holidays (especially Christmas time) are a highly anticipated affair, but not just for the gifts under the tree with your or your children’s name on them. It is also a time of the year when your mother or grandmother (or both) bakes delicious goodies for you. So, the Franklin Christmas lighting installation company, Christmas Light Pros, wants to know: Who cooks better holiday cookies, your mom or your grandma? Maybe it’s a tie, but many people have a favorite. The Christmas lights and the presents are wonderful but the taste of Christmas is just as memorable.
Mom’s Cookies
Was your mother the best at baking delicious fresh out of the oven Christmas cookies? We know it’s a subjective matter, but Christmas cookies bring us back to a special place in our hearts. The memories of childhood holiday get-togethers flood our brain when we relive them once again as an adult. If your mom is the number one in your mind for top cookie baker at Christmas time, then you are probably counting the days before you can get yet another taste of those delicious baked Christmas cookies.
Grandma’s Cookies
For others, grandma is the best cookie maker on the block, or at least at her house. Or maybe she came to your house. Grandmothers come from a special stock of cookie bakers. In their day, cookie baking was a routine for pleasing young children and the whole family as well as guests. This was a particularly special skill during the holidays. Grandmothers have the added benefit of experience and they may have a greater array of cookie recipes and special ingredients. Sugar cookies, chocolate chip, oatmeal, snicker doodles, cream-filled cookies and those with nuts, cinnamon candies, peanut butter, caramel and other goodies. Is your grandma a trophy-winning cookie baking extraordinaire?
Who is the Best?
Alright, let’s not pitch family members against one another, so this is a secret between us. Of course, there is always the chance that it is a toss up. Whether it is your mother or grandmother that makes the best cookies on planet earth, this is really not the point. Christmas is a time of festivity, of family togetherness, sharing and love. This is why we are in this business, because we love that special time of year.
A Message from Christmas Light Pros
Here in Franklin, Tennessee, we share the same core values of families that have been celebrating their Christmases with their families for generations. We love seeing the glow of family members’ faces when they are together sharing experiences, memories, gifts and special moments.
We also love the special glow of exterior Christmas lights. Yes, we also love the kind on the tree and decking the halls of the inside of the home too, but we specialize in the outdoor kind. So, if you have a large tree or set of bushes outside that you want strung up with lights, you don’t have to go outside and freeze your tail off trying to get it done. There is no need to dangerously climb up a ladder to get lights hung along the top skirt of your roof. Our staff can provide this service for you and kick start your Christmas theme outside your home. Call us or email us for more information and tell your mom or grandma that they don’t have to leave any cookies out for us (not that we would refuse).
