I have all my Christmas cards, wrapping paper and supplies, new ornaments for the tree and even some gifts purchased for Christmas 2007. I’ve also purchased some craft type stuff for one of the gifts I’ll make and give.
February and March are extremely busy months. I think for February I’ll find instructions for the craft I have in mind and attempt another test of the craft I tried last December.

Taken from my resolutions entry here
Christmas each month: Cook something to test it, make something, wrap something, maintain addresses for cards…you get the gist. This year I don’t know why I waited till December to even consider what I was making or giving to people. I tested a couple of recipes I didn’t like. I tried to make a project but didn’t have room to improve upon it so gave up. There is no reason why I couldn’t have done any of this prior to December. I think that in the past I’ve always been scared of Christmas like it’s going to kick my ass or something. But after this year where I not only did Christmas, but threw a party and planned for vacation AND mailed out Christmas cards…I think I did a kickass job. I’m not scared anymore. This isn’t like the old days where I showed up late on Christmas morning with unwrapped presents and said, “Here.”

I’m in the process of developing a menu. Right now it’s much too big and needs to be trimmed.
I’d love to get some things made in advance and stored in the freezer. So far that includes:
Snickerdoodle Cookie DoughChocolate Chip cookie doughBroccoli bite appetizers (mmmm they taste of stuffing!)
