I put up pics of all our house decorated for the holidays. You can see them here. Tabitha and I are making our last batch of candy and cookies today. The cookies are just slice and bake because I like the shapes :) Tomorrow, we'll take our remaining candy to Chris's work for him to hand out. He doesn't have to work, but they're all having a potluck so we thought that would be the perfect time to take the candy. Besides doing that, we'll be making appetizers to take to the party at my in-laws' tomorrow night. And we'll probably have Christmas movies and videos going all day.

We really need to find some good Christmas music cd's. We just rely on the radio and the music station on the satellite, but I'm so sick of pop singers interpreting traditional songs. I just want to hear nice music. I'm think a choir cd would be good. I couldn't take the bad versions anymore, so Tabitha and I are listening to White Stripes and Metallica, not the most festive but it's puts us in a good mood, lol.

We got an early Christmas gift last night. One of our best friends gave us a basket that he filled with goodies from the Italian market. I got really good olive oil, white wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar. Plus real, fresh mozzarella. Also was some pudding and a jar of sweet roasted red peppers. It's a great gift for me, because I get to cook with all of it and it's great for the family because they get to eat it :)
