Christmas Shopping!

Phew! We spent 8 hours today combing the downtown centre, the mall, and several grocery stores for everything we could possibly need for Christmas. I'm realizing how many baked goods I now have to make, because I've bought all the ingredients. Even the rum! I always feel awkward buying liquor...I don't drink it, so I still feel like a child trying to get away with something naughty when I go in a liquor store.
Tomorrow I will finally roll out the gingerbread dough I made last week, and I decided to treat myself with some homemade granola as well! Then perhaps the meat pies...
So much!
It was nice getting in the Christmas spirit today, wandering through the stores with their (rather tacky and materialistic) holiday decor, but there's nothing like coming home to my Charlie Brown Christmas tree and some quality Christmas music! A humble, homemade Christmas: that's what I like.
All the best to all of you as your prepare for the holiday season!
