EACH ISSUE THE WOMAN TODAY IS ASKING ABOUT YOUR LIVES, EXPERENCES, AND THOUGHTS.

What is your most memorable Christmas memory?

Baking cookies with my grandma Lillian. We would make butter cookies, spritz, with the different shapes. My favorite was the tree! We would sprinkle the cookies as well. We would bake at her house-she had the old tinsel on her tree. Grandma Lillian also had Santa wrapping paper. It was a GIANT roll though, she had the same paper for all the grandkids for like 10 years!

My family had a primitive cabin up North. To access the cabin we had to load up everything in a toboggan and haul it across the ice on the lake. My dad decorated the trees with lights for the holidays for my three brothers and I.

My most memorable holiday gift was an electric typewriter I got when I was about 10 years old from my mother. I started writing chapter books with it when I was a kid.

Playing with my brother in the snow. He would pull me on a sled behind our snowmobile. He is three years younger than me and would drive me all around the snow with the snowmobile!

My favorite memory is baking cookies because I LOVE eating the dough! One of my favorite cookies is a chocolate buttersweet cookie with cream cheese and coconut.

I graduated from Denfeld High School and I was a part of the marching band. I always remember playing in the Christmas City of the North parade with my marching band. Another favorite is bringing my kids to Bentleyville, I never went before it was downtown. Janice and I have been friends for 51 years, we met at a laundromat when we were doing our laundry and I just started talking to her!

Janice said she'd share her cookies with Nancy and they laughed at how they'd both hide the cookies in the freezer and not share them with their families.
