I love Christmas and the idea of planning and preparing for it all year long! Here's where I'll post recipes, gift and craft ideas, and random thoughts from my Christmas kitchen.

Rudolph Day for February just did not happen!
Oh, I had plans -- albeit very simple ones -- to do some Christmasy things; sip Candy Cane Lane tea (which I have seriously stocked up on, recently searching an entire holiday tea display at Wal*Mart to be sure I got every last box they had!); listen to Christmas music; make a few gift card holders and go over my Christmas list. None of that happened.
Since then, I have taken a look at my Christmas list. I have ideas for our elderly parents -- my mother-in-law loves what we do for her each year which is a bucket of bran muffin batter (the type that keeps for weeks in the fridge), a jar of homemade hot cocoa mix and a bag of clementines. I give my dad just the baked muffins and the cocoa mix and a few clementines. He tends to forget about them so I don't waste an entire bag on him. We also give him a subscription to Readers' Digest. If you keep an eye on their sales you can get a subscription for $5 or so.
And I have a few ideas for grandkids, mostly felt food so far. But that is about it, so I need to do some serious brainstorming for Christmas gift ideas. Maybe next Rudolph Day?
