Monday Bake - Cinnamon Stars (Gluten Free)

Christmas traditions - I love them.

I have a box with my Christmas glasses, mugs and plates that I get down from the loft on the first of December. I buy new ones to add to my collection each year.

Last Sunday, we went to the Pantomime - Cinderella. The cheesy jokes, the "he's behind you", the contemporary songs, the poor man in the audience who gets picked on by the Dame, the box of sweeties I take along - fab. I get the tickets through my work and we always have excellent seats.

Yesterday we went to the Christmas Tree Festival. I love the knitted ones - so much work goes into making them - it must take all year! Look at the penguin conga!

When we get home I put up the tree. I decorate in the order of lights, tinsel, decorations, then the robin, and finally the Angel at the top (who looks a bit like a wee Minibakebakgirl!). I bought her for my first tree when I left home - so she is doing well for her 19th Christmas!

Putting up my kitchen fairy lights - balancing on a chair to put them on top of my cupboards. The kitchen always feels so bare at the beginning of January when I take them down.

We watch A Muppets Christmas Carol every year - singing along to the songs and yes, I cry at the end :o)

And hopefully lots more new traditions to add to the list in the years to come.

For cake club a few weeks ago I made these gluten free cinnamon biscuits, you can find the recipe here. The dough is very sticky and rolling it out in between two pieces of baking paper is a great tip.
