Christmas Prep
Last night I was unable to make my usual post because I was busy gift wrapping. I hate waiting until the last moment to gift wrap. It feels rather pointless for me to make the gifts all pretty only for others to destroy it a short time later. I’ve done it as late as Christmas Eve, and trust me… that sucks. Do you have all your gifts bought yet and if so, are they all wrapped? I actually still have some more to do, but I won’t see those people until after the holiday, so there’s no rush but I’d still like to get them done soon.
Today I’ll be doing a lot of holiday baking. Every year we make a gingerbread house with a recipe that has been passed down through the generations. It’s my job to make the template for the house so it all fits together (yay high school drafting classes!). No prefab for us! I’ll also be making my favorite orange, chocolate cookies and my mint chocolate pinwheel cookies. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I have to go to work so this is my only day to bake my cookies. Too bad you can’t be here to share in them, but trust me… they’re tasty. ^_^
Are all your holiday preparations done yet?

Unfortunately I have to work on Christmas Eve, and drive to my parent’s house on Christmas morning. Though on the bright side, I have all of my prep work done, just need to pack my bags. These are going to be the longest work shifts ever!

Well while you’re working, know that I’m working that day too. Cheers!

Not much prep to do here. The biggest thing is to make sure that we have everything that we need for the next couple of days, since many stores will be closed. Hung some lights, put out some flowers and candles, and got the fireplace video loop ready (I really miss a real fireplace). … Yeah, not much else to get ready.
Man, do you make all those cookies for yourself, or do you pass them out as gifts? Either way, I’ll bet your house smells awesome while you’re baking. Well, unless the smell of the various types of cookies clash, but I doubt that happens very often.
