From Boozy Eggnog to Decorating Cookies, Here Are 13 Sweet Holiday Traditions From Our Editors You'll Want to Steal

"I make five to seven types of cookies, and they are all special recipes I do not make any other time of the year. Some are family recipes from the 'old country,' as my mother likes to say. Ever since I can remember, I have decorated cutout Christmas cookies with icing, sprinkles, and red hots with friends. I helped my sister host a kegger in grad school where the party decorated and devoured over 300 cookies. I missed my early morning flight home due to all the revelry. Now, I decorate cookies with my girls and their friends." — Susi May, senior content director
