It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

[cyrano]

Yes, it's true. The weather's starting to actually get a little cold in the mornings, and I'm trying to pretend that I don't mind that I can't afford to buy people presents. It must be getting close to Yuletide.
In honor of which, I have released this year's Christmas CD. It's basically last year's model with a couple of new tracks added.

I'd be happy for a *HUG*, though that does sound like a pretty cool list...

Something that I do every year is cook something to give people. Inexpensive, festive, and people like it. Past years I've made things like rolls of personized ( their favorite ingediants) cookie dough, that I freeze in "logs" in wax paper and they can slice and bake at will. Rice crispy treats in festive shapes.. Jello shooters.. dried apricots dipped in chocolate.. This year it'll be bags of home-made carmel corn. :) Feel free to use any of the ideas if you like.

For some reason, LJ didn't save the *hug* I sent you earlier. So here's another one. *hug*
