National Cookie Exchange Day

A World of Cookies for Santa takes children on a trip around the world, beginning with Christmas Island, Santa’s first stop. Children in each location leave Santa cookies, favorites from their country. The children on Christmas Island leave coconut macaroons using coconut from the many coconut trees growing on their island. Next stop is New Zealand, where the children leave Anzac biscuits and hay and carrots for the reindeer. Then on to Australia where it’s summer so Santa gets a cool glass of milk or beer with his treats. This is a fun way to introduce kids to some of the ways Christmas is celebrated around the world. In the back of the book there are a few recipes to try so you can create your own international cookie exchange!
