People in New Zealand have a fire work display

they also put up Christmas lights. The Queen

also has a speech to say on Christmas Eve. They

share gifts and cards. They sing Christmas

carols in the church. For an EX. A song they sing

in snoops Christmas. The New Zealand’s love to

eat fruit cake turkey and ham and little veggies

on the side. After all that they mostly open gifts

after dinner.

A game they play is the cracker this is

the way it works two people hold the en

Cracker and "pop!" out comes a bright

paper hat, a small gift, a And a motto or

jokes.

Servings:

2

Units: US | Metric

4 almond halves, toasted

2 pear halves in natural juice, preferably canned (for

authenticity)

2 cloves

2 pieces angelica, cut into 1/8 inch by 2 inches (crystalized

candy)

Directions:

s

Ingredients: 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 a large egg (whisk one egg in a small bowl, then divide equally in half and only use one half) 3/4 cup icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup finely chopped Candy Cane Hershey's Kisses (about 10 Kisses)

~2 tablespoons granulated sugar About 30 additional, unwrapped Candy Cane Kisses

Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and egg. Beat at medium

speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy (about 2-3 minutes). In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry

ingredients to the wet ingredients in the electric mixture in two additions, mixing well after each

addition, until well blended. Stir in chopped Kisses. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and press a Candy Cane Kiss into the middle of the ball of

dough, molding the dough around the Kiss so that it’s completely covered by the dough. Try to

smooth out any lumps; if the cookie looks lumpy before baking, it will look lumpy after being

baked! Repeat with remaining dough; you should end up with about 30 cookies. Pour granulated sugar into a shallow bowl and gently roll each cookie in the sugar to coat. Place

on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, then cool on a

wire rack. To make things go quicker, I form 15 cookies first, put them in the oven, and while

they’re baking I form the other 15 cookies.
