As we gather for the holidays we take time to reflect on our holiday traditions and those of our friends in the Allrecipes community.

The holidays mean so much to our diverse community of home cooks. And the season really starts with baking. No surprise there? When the leaves start to fall from the trees and the weather turns colder Allrecipes bakers fire up their ovens strap on their holiday aprons and get baking. Cookies and cakes quick breads and pies “The holidays are the time to bake!” says Kim an Allrecipes Allstar. This year batches of holiday cookies are being mailed to far-flung locations or hand-delivered to the doors of grateful friends in the neighborhood.
