I have an unoffical tradition of baking sugar cookies. It's not something I always do but I love doing it. As a child we didn't celebrate Christmas, we were Jehovah witnesses so I didn't get a real Christmas until I was in the sixth grade. One thing we always managed to do since then was make sugar cookies, it just doesn't feel like Christmas when I don't make cookies. Now I have two kids and a husband who love to eat them.
