We would make lots of cookies; mom now does that with my niece and nephew, though they use mixes instead of from scratch. There are a couple of Christmas albums from childhood that Dad ripped from the old vinyl onto CD's so I could have them. And recently when it is cold I make "real" hot chocolate - not powdered, start by melting good baker's chocolate in a double boiler and scalding milk. If I do it right, it's like a thin chocolate soup and stands in well for supper. I like mine with a not too much sugar, but that is definitely an acquired taste.
