Christmas Spirtit

I love the Christmas season!  Part of the season is making stuff for people.  This stuff that I make can vary from stuff that I have sewn to stuff that I have baked. This year I am in a new state and I don't know anyone to give the stuff to.  I asked Travis to figure out who we could give Christmas stuff to.  He made a list and we went around sunday night in the snow to deliver.  It was a lot fun. We went to a couple of our neighbors (whom I had not met until we took them a Christmas treat).  We also took some to some of his co-workers.
I found some cute ribbon at the local general store and made the treats look as festive as I could.
Lately I have been trying new recipes.  I made a pumpkin roll because I had extra pumpkin I needed to use and it was very good.  I made a couple of them along with pumpkin bread.  We gave a pumpkin roll to a young couple in our ward. When I handed it to her the look on her face was shock.  I think the fact that it weighed 5 pounds was a little overwhelming. You would have thought that I gave them a fruit cake or something.

Between playing in the deep snow and making some new friends, it was a great way to celebrate the Christmas season.  I love this time of year.

Love the look of your treats. You do a better job at dressing them up. I like the ribbon trick. Way to spread holiday cheer.
