Every Christmas season when I was growing up, our church youth group would go out caroling to all of the elderly in our church and community. Just as much a part of the tradition was the fruit basket or plate full of goodies we delivered to each one. I'm not sure what brought more joy, making them and putting the variety plates together, or delivering them to the delighted Senior Saints! Here are some ideas for edible Christmas gifts, and most of them are ones kids can make, with a little help.
