Have you figured out your weekend plans yet? It’s still hard to believe that Christmas is in 5 days!!! And on a wednesday!
The timing is great for those that can take the entire week off, but not so great for those that have to work monday, have a half day tuesday, then be back at work on thursday and friday. It makes for such a hectic week for some, that’s for sure.
Things I’m planning on doing this weekend:
Have the HH drive me around after dark to see all the houses lit up for Christmas. {I can’t believe we haven’t done this yet this year!}
Make a batch of stollen. I made it last year and it got such rave reviews from everyone I gave it to, I’ve decided to make it again. I just LOVE those dried candied oranges from Trader Joe’s, and this recipe is a perfect way to use them.
Make a few different batches of cookie dough {for the freezer, not to give away}.
Hang out with Kiln Guy and the Chef. They’re coming over for cheese and crackers.
I’m seriously thinking about taking down the fresh garland I hung up in the living room. What was I thinking? It’s SO DRY and faded and I know it’s going to make a huge mess.
I should have bought a fake garland instead!! Gaa. Live and learn.
Make fondue and have a dipping party. I don’t have a fondue pot {I thought about getting one though and then decided against it} so we’ll just use a hot plate instead.
Not as fun, but at least I won’t have to store one when it’s not in use 360 days a year. 😉
Simple. That’s what my weekend plans are. How about YOU? What are YOUR plans for this weekend? Are you ready for it to be January already? I know I am.
Have a great weekend everyone,

All my Christmas shopping/wrapping gifts/baking cookies is done, so this weekend I will be packing up for our trip south to spend Christmas with the kids and grandkids. All I need to do is laundry and make a run to the post office. Feels good to not have to be running around like crazy to get last minute stuff done. It doesn’t always happen like this, but it did this year, and I am enjoying it!

We have two wonderful events, both held annually that we look forward to. On Saturday it is a Breakfast with Santa for children who have traumatic brain injuries and Sunday is a Sensitive Santa Lunch. The friends don’t overlap much so it will be nice to see a number of families we just see once a year.
