Why color christmas cookies pictures?

One of the reasons the custom of baking Christmas cookies was born is to leave them out for Santa and welcome him when he arrives on Christmas night to leave his gifts for the good children.

Before the 18th century there were very few bakers who knew the recipe for the popular gingerbread cookies; until that moment only the upper class could afford to eat them during the December holidays.

It wasn't until 1930 that it became a regular tradition, and over time each country modified and created its own recipes for Christmas cookies until reaching the ones we know today.

At Coloring Together we've gathered a variety of Christmas cookies to color, you'll be able to have fun and learn with each of the fun facts we've found for you. Don't pass up this great opportunity!
