Young Carla is so excited to go to Granny's for Christmas Eve dinner. Her favorite dish? Granny's cornbread, made fresh in a cast iron pan. But on their way to bed, Carla sees the perfect sugar cookie on a small plate, after taking a bite her sister tells her it was meant for Santa! Carla is worried she has ruined Christmas - but Granny has an idea. 

This is a great Christmas story, and the celebrity connection made the recipe in the back so exciting! Cute illustrations - a fun holiday read, but the message is fun anytime.
