The ribbons, bows, wrapping of gifts. I really DO like the giving better than the receiving, especially for my ten year old nephew and seven year old niece! :) Fun. And i like the baking too.. i share a lot as i'm trying to watch my figure.

I start thinking in the summer.<br />I don't make several cakes like you do (wish I did,I remember the ones you posted last year they looked and sounded so good) but I have to make sure my Christmas Boxes are sent off to Japan and the UK on time so I get started early.<br />I so dislike when people say "Oh it is too much trouble"...blah blah blah, to send cards. <br />When did sending good wishes to family and friends become a chore ? It is really besides ones birthday that is the right time to send a card or even if you wish a small gift too. <br />Most of my friend do not need or want anything so something to eat or a plant is so easy and so perfect.<br />Remember to post your cakes again, I can't eat them but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing them.<br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br /><br /><br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-21637808817287020402012-11-16T11:23:32.496-08:002012-11-16T11:23:32.496-08:00Hi, i like your post.
