I was going to start this in November but figured may as well start it now. We did this last year and it was fun but maybe this year will be better. Think of this as a chat thread to close out the year and see how close we can get to 1000 posts.

So... how are you enjoying Fall? This is my favorite time of year.

My wife and I don't buy too many gifts anymore....usually just for the Grandkids-the ones we see (18 of them-this year out 20 something-the rest we don't see)....For the family we provide Christmas Breakfast (expecting 30) and Christmas Lunch/Dinner (expecting 40). This can get real expensive, but it's worth it.

Between now and Christmas, I have 12 different types of cookies and 3 different types of fudge (usually between 3-4 dozen of each) that we will be giving away.
We will try to take 25 dozen to Ronald McDonald House and another 25 dozen to our local TV/Radio Station.
Starting around Dec. 14 or 15 we will be delivering Flowers for a local Florist that we have done for 27 years.
Yes December/Christmas is a very busy time for us---but I won't change a thing--for now.

Here is list of the cookies
Stocking
Candy Cane
Sour Cream Twists
Thumbprints
Mint Trees (press cookies)
Mint Wreaths (press cookies)

Peanut Butter Blossoms (with kisses)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms (with hugs)
Peppermint Blossoms (with candy cane kisses)

Chocolate fudge
Mint chocolate fudge
Peppermint fudge

Buckeyes
Peppermint bark

maybe: snickerdoodles
and something new: Corn Flake Wreathes
So far have Mint trees, Mint Wreathes, Stocking and Candy Canes done.

So I guess I better get busy :) It's not as hard as it sounds.

Last year (or was it 2 or 3 years ago) we did have it on the main chit-chat board, If I remember right we did break 100 posts and many even a 1000 views. But for some reason nobody seems to want to post on the thread---so don't feel bad :(
