First thing first..where is half of my options for my font??!! ARGHH...no colors? No sizes?? No different font to pick from??? What up with this? BLAH!!
Second...Christmas. I've seen and prepared for a lot of Christmases...this one is one of the more weird ones for me because the kids aren't coming here and we aren't going to their places. And, while Melanie and crew will be here after Christmas...it's not as much fun as having them here at Christmas. Also, we've cut way back on the decorating because supposedly there's supposed to be some painting going on in the foyer and main living areas. So....no big tree, and not hardly any decorations at all...I do have the two main nativity sets out and a few other things here and there. Scott did go out and buy himself a table top tree for the downstairs. And..so far we don't have any wreaths nor any window candle lights put out.
But...on the more positive side of things...almost all of my shopping is done or figured out. I've been working on the cards and the family/friends card book is almost worked through, while Scott and I knocked off the church list on Sat night. I still have all my Fly Friends cards to do...I started first with them last year so they go last this year! LOL
I haven't decided on my baking. I'm really wanting to do tons. But, realistically there isn't enough time. Nor is there anyone that needs to be eating the stuff. I like doing the candy or cookies or breads the most. Things like Fantasy Fudge, covered pretzels, caramels, peppermint bark, banana nut bread, apple bread, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and Lisa's brickle cookies. Wish I liked making yeast breads as Momma made a really good braided breakfast bread...looked like a Christmas tree!! The other thing is....I do not like the cleaning up. And...I don't need to have a bunch of food here that I'd have to do something with or just throw it away. So...chances are slim I'll get to it. Oh...might try that new recipe for sponge toffee...anyone had it before? Is it good??
