Here are a few things that I have to do before it truly feels like Christmas.

Crank up my Christmas playlist.

Get my baking groove on.

Almond Cloud Cookies

Cinnamon and Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make gifts for friends and family.

(I can’t show you these!  Major spoilers)

Relax with a hot beverage and read.

I still need to finish up the shopping, bake a few more treats, wrap presents, and most importantly, spend time with the fam and friends (hopefully sharing some holiday cocktails).  Not a bad to-do list in my opinion!
