Christmas Preparation Day 1

It's time to begin my Christmas preparations and first on my list is a double batch of sugar pecans; recipe here.These were such a big hit last year and they stay fresh for a long time making them a great "make ahead" item.

Each year, after Christmas, I like to buy fun bags for my baked goods.

I love how cheerful this Santa looks.

I like to start early getting my packages ready for shipping so I can check them off my "to do list".
