FAVORITE CHRISTMAS TREATS Make-Ahead Eats to Gift or Keep

*ALL LINKS UPDATED May/2022! This cookbook of my personal 'wrapped in a warm hug and feeling all gooey inside' CHRISTMAS recipes is easy to read, fully detailed and includes:
enough jokes to keep you from crying about how close the day already is
...and how far you are from being 'ready' - have you even started a list yet; 'Santa'?
detailed instructions on how to make your own 'gift treat tins' to give out
...instead of massive amounts of money or unwanted and/or quickly exchanged items
...that took you 5 mall trips in 3 weeks to find in the first place
tips on how to vary these (and all) recipes for your every day meals
...and easily deal with any picky eaters and/or those with allergies or restrictions
a measurement conversion chart for both dry and liquid
...for those who didn't have to learn both standard AND metric in school
...and/or the majority of us who can't do complicated math in our head ;)
and hundreds of great shortcuts and simple techniques in all things food/household
...that save time/money/energy, and are for everyday eating/living also!
Create YOUR version of the perfect holiday with whatever kickstarts your happy/peaceful state within; and makes you drool as well! Regardless of food, the holiday season should be a time of giving thanks for all you DO have, sharing time and love with friends and family, and helping others in every way you can; because sooner or later...'you get what you give, multiplied by 10'!
So get comfortable with your favorite beverage, feed your brain a healthy snack and grab a bib while you read/visualize/plan your way to the most satisfying and relaxing Christmas season this year (and onward) for YOU; as well as ALL those you buy gifts for, feed, love and/or tolerate...pre-made, pre-wrapped and pre-PAID to boot!
CHANGE "it is what it is" to "IT WILL BE WHAT I MAKE IT" and NEVER GIVE UP!
