The Christmas holiday season is such a wonderful time of year.  The kids are so excited as they countdown to the big day.  That beautiful Christmas countdown calendar I have is like a stress-o-meter for me.  Each day that goes by brings me more and more stress it seems.  There is so much to do and so little time to do it in.  The kids all seem to have extra projects to do, there are holiday parties to attend, and still…………the laundry needs done.  I know you are feeling the craziness like I am.  Deep breath……..everything will be just fine.

So what am I doing?  Decorating my home and shopping for Christmas gifts?  Maybe writing out Christmas cards?  Nah! I’m writing this list for all of you.  I’ll get back to the house in a bit.  It’s so much easier to shop for people who like the same things as you do, so I quickly came up with this list of items that I would love to receive in my stocking. My hope is that this will make things easier for you to purchase gifts for the foodies in your lives.  Anything in “green” you can click on for more information.  I’ve also included a gift guide at the bottom of the list. Happy shopping!
