How are your holiday plans going? I have surprised myself and am doing pretty well. One thing that I forgot to do is to pay attention to shipping times. It is one thing to find just the right gift and order it. It is another thing to get it to you, or them, on time! But all is well. It’s mid-December and if shipping won’t work, guess what we can do? Make something! There are some amazing holiday desserts that make great gifts! On Christmas I even received a homemade cheese-spread dip as a gift and it was amazing and memorable. Use your ingenuity. You will be surprised at what you can do.
