So last year was one of my more memorable years. Christmas is so amazing and we had planned the cooking in September. It takes roughly a good month to plan everything out to a T. The shopping lists, the food that will be needed everything has to be planned out.
That year I also made a cookbook with all the recipes and tried to credit as best I can where I found them. I don't own them and it's just for free. For you, if you would like to do something similar. Link is here: https://payhip.com/b/1OhT
