A New Holiday Season

It is time to get started planning for this year.

This last week I was challenged to get my holiday baking and treats all figured out. The goal is to actually decide on the items that our family really can't live without and to decide when we should prepare items and what can be prepared ahead and frozen.

Can we make life less stressful during the holidays?

It is interesting to me how everyone had different favorites. It makes for a kind of long list though. There is also the idea of what new items might be fun to try this year.

Step 1-- Find all the cook books that have our favorites and any recipes that are loose.
Step 2-- Discuss with all interested parties their thoughts of what can stay and what can go.
Step 3-- List and group the treats and figure out when they should be prepared.
Step 4-- Print and arrange the list in a binder and get the recipes copied and into the same place.

I love the idea of a simpler, more organized December!
