I've never been in this place before, no money to buy presents. Luckily my kids aren't kids, they are adults, all making at least 3X what I am. So, my gifts will be cookies and bread. On another thread we were discussing some recipes. Here's one that I'm looking at:

You know, I can buy just about anything I would want to have but the gifts that really means the most to me are the ones that somebody took the time to personally make. Now, that's a gift. Anything else is just a present. You can't go wrong with home made bread and cookies. You did good, girl. Don't be ashamed of giving a gift from your heart.

Thanks for that! I'm going to do this for one kid, the other two are getting breakfast breads, since the first child doesn't go sweet. LOL!
All of them are getting Snickerdoodles, my own recipe. Seems the darling daughter made them from a recipe. She didn't like. So, I'll make them and give them my recipe.
I have my 2 kiddos plus 10 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 19 to 8 months.
All the grownups and the practically grownup nephews are getting goody baskets too, assuming I can get all the rest of that baking done. The smaller kiddos of course are a different story.
Nothing says "teenage boy" or better yet, "college freshman boy" like a big ole care package. The grownups don't seem to mind either.
Well, I shipped some out to her and they should be arriving on her doorstep on Wednesday.
Good for you Annie! There's nothing better than a homemade gift at Christmas. And Snickerdoodles .... MMMMMMM! I doubled my batch of those this year. Some of us got into a discussion in the Coffee Shop thread regarding cookie recipes. AgainSheila read I was making some and asked to get on my mailing list.
I have money to buy gifts and I have. But there is something so rewarding about baking and packaging and gifting my own homemade goodies. And that is exactly what I've been doing the past few weeks. In fact, I spent about 3 hours yesterday packaging and decorating boxes full of 3-chip English toffee. I have sent out 3 gift baskets through UPS and I have another two I have to get together on Christmas Eve morning.
Last year a good friend gave me a homemade button tree. She bought a piece of tree shaped styrofoam and adorned it with antique buttons using colored topped push-pins, all in different shades of green. It was one of my favorite gifts.
Every year for Christmas my grandmother used to make us all Ponhaus. We looked forward to it all year long (having it for breakfast on Christmas morning was a huge treat). Homemade gifts are the best.

About This Recipe
"This is my Nana's mother's recipe, which was probably her mother's (who only spoke Pa-German). Nana made this every holiday with turkey and ham. It's a bit of work, but well worth it. Nana always made it the day before and baked it the day of eating it."
Ingredients
o 5 lbs potatoes, scrubbed, peeled and cut up
o 4 tablespoons butter
o 1 1/2 cups milk
o 1 cup chicken stock
o 3/4 cup butter ( 1 1/2 sticks)
o 3 cups finely chopped celery ( use the leaves also)
o 2 cups finely chopped sweet onions
o 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
o 1/2 teaspoon salt ( or more to taste)
o 1/2 teaspoon pepper
o 7 -8 slices toasted white bread, cut into small cubes
o 3 eggs, beaten
Directions
1. Boil potatoes until tender; drain. Place in large bowl and mash with 4 tbsp butter, milk and chicken stock.
2. While potatoes are cooking, in a large skillet over med-high heat, melt 3/4 cup butter; add chopped celery, onion, and parsley; sautee until tender -- about 7-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and add the toasted bread cubes. Cook, stirring frequently, for another 4-5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and fold into the mashed potato mixture. Fold in the beaten eggs and stir everything together well.
4. Pour into a greased/sprayed 13" x 9" (or larger) pan. Cover and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until lightly browning on top.
5. Serve.
