Christmas lessons learned

I still love Christmas with all my heart, nearly as much as when I was a kid.

I can do Christmas affordably after all. Not everybody needs a present.

Baking is quickly becoming one of my favorite pasttimes. And I can make a mean pound cake.

Presents with meaning can be so much better than big presents or expensive presents. A new journal is one of my favorites.

The feeling of giving, as cliched as I know it sounds, truly surmounts that of getting. Knowing you gave a gift someone appreciates is priceless.

Shopping at the last minute is a bad idea.

The only place open on Christmas Day is CVS. If you need more than a half gallon of milk, some aspirin and a gift bag, don't count on it.

Despite my persistant fear of seafood, I can be brave and try crab dip. Go me.

I LOVE newly discovered sweet potato casserole. Like, really really love it. A lot.
