## About

Medford Public Library sets up Bonsignore Hall and its kitchen for a hands-on holiday break on the Monday before Christmas: families decorate gingerbread cookies with icing and a big spread of candy toppings, all supplied by the library. There are two 45-minute sessions in the early evening, so families can pick the one that fits dinner and bedtime. All ages are welcome, which makes it a good activity for siblings of different ages to do side by side, but everyone who plans to decorate a cookie must pre-register. Expect sticky fingers and bring a container if you want to carry your creations home safely.
