I can't believe that Christmas is 3 months away !

I have 4 gifts purchased and will continue to shop until the second week in December, by then I should be done it all but  the baking.

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

I use to have my Christmas shopping done before Halloween but since moving my budget doesn't allow for much above the bills each month.

I am glad that I our family is not about the gifts at Christmas we are all about sharing time together.

I have even cut back on my Christmas baking, with butter at $5.00 a pound ( I refuse to use anything but  butter) I really had to cut back.

I use to start putting a couple of pounds of butter a week into the freezer for Christmas baking each time it went on sale to help with the skyrocketing costs of baking supplies.

With so many going wheat free I hope to snag a great deal on flour this fall.

Do you do much baking for Christmas?

Gretchen and I had a blast making cookies last year, this was her batch, not bad for the first time on her own I just supervised.
