Checking his list......

or should I say countdown to Christmas.

What's left on my "To-Do" list?

Food shopping (but I won't do that until Sunday, the 20th)
Finish up the wrapping gifts.
Do a bit of holiday baking.

As you can see, NO shopping! That's done, done, done.....well, except for the one item that I bought a couple of weeks ago that has now gone on sale and so back to Target I go for that.

My family has talked me in to baking a ham along with the lasagna that I was planning on making, so that has been added to the menu along with a potato dish.

Next weekend, Fred and I are going to do some baking. He will make his famous fudge and I'm going to make some caramel apple bars, peanut butter blossoms and a new cookie I want to try, Pecan logs. I may give those a trial run later today to see if they are actually any good. They look good, I got the recipe from Real Simple and it seems fool proof enough.

I'm bumming that I can't find my most favorite holiday dish soap..lol! Dish soap, you say....well, it's Method's holiday fragrance dish soap and last year I found a ton of it. I loved Peppermint Vanilla, Spiced Pear and Holly Berry and stocked up BIG after Christmas. This year....nada....can't find a single bottle. :(

After feeling awful on Friday with a terrible sinus headache, I'm feeling better and need to put on my elf hat and finish up with some wrapping. Last night we watched the holiday movie Deck the Halls. I had never seen it before. It was pretty hokey, but I could appreciate the outdoor illumination theme of the movie...LOL!

Have a good week!
