Did you know that there are only 100 days left until Christmas?
Two days ago I got hit with the bug. Yup, already. I’ve told Archie to make me list of his co-workers and friends that he wants included on the list. Because I’m making plans.
Last year I made well over 1000 cookies, that we pigged out on, I sent in a plate w/ hubs to work, I went to a cookie exchange and took a plate of ALL my cookies-not just my exchange cookies. I took them to my parents – and we ate them ALL.
This year I’m all about the homemade gifts. I can’t go into too much detail because people read this blog that will get some of those gifts 😉 But I’m making my list, and I’m checking it a dozen times.
I have recipes lining up to make even MORE cookies than previous years, and candies. I’ll make gift bags of the goodies for friends and family…and for family I’ll also have some non-edible gifts.
The girls are getting homemade clothes, and I also have purchased clothes for both them and Brandon. So far I’ve only spent about $40 total and have all of their clothes shopping done (this far in advance! NEVER happens!).
I have gifts planned for all the youth (older, younger, and unborn)…and simple gifts for the extended family. If all goes well no one will be without a gift – even if it’s a goodie bag of dessert 😀 I’ve also started giving hubby ideas of what I want *G* Now if he’d do the same (although he’s sort of predictable…I think I can guess)
I hope you’re making your plans…it seems so far – but it passes by so fast! I hope to finish early…there are other holidays to plan for 😉

Any blogging buddies that want a care package of my goodies better email me now so I can add you to my list!!
Already?!?!?! I can’t believe this year is flying by so quickly. I can hardly wrap my head around Halloween coming up!
I love the idea of making cookies. Any chance you may be sharing some recipes here? 🙂
.-= Momisodes´s last blog ..Falling =-.
I know!! It’s insane, isn’t it? When I went to look up how many days there were a couple of days ago, I seriously gasped when it said 102!!!
*lol* I will post recipes here!! I’ll post what I’m making and a few recipes…if you want all the recipes, let me know 😉
Since Chuck is unable to move, she’s started knitting scarves for her uncles this Christmas….
I have a handful of scarves in storage that are all hand-knit. I have some other easy-peasy ideas along the same line to do as well 😀
I’m halfway through my MIL’s gift, I wanted to make SURE I had it done well ahead of time. Unlike last year when I finished up holiday gifts in February. Oops!
I was just thinking the other day when I should put the call out for addresses to send cards to.
Last year I was sewing the girls presents right up until Christmas Eve. I did NOT want to do that again. I wish I did cards-but I’m horrible at getting that done…maybe next year I’ll do something like that! This year, I’ll stick to the goodie-bags. 😀
