They are, in this example, carved on both sides where the family would have had their favorite images. Here there is images of figures, of animals, of the Kris Kringle market features that they would have enjoyed in the holidays. This is made as a, sort of like a shortbread cookie that is flavored and everyone enjoys sampling these at Christmas.
