Christmas Desserts 2022

Does anyone out there have great holiday time management tips they can share with me??

Last year, I said I would cut down on some things– and I did– but still, I ran out of time.

How does that happen??

Ok, so I did add a few new desserts this year:

These were Gingerbread cupcakes with mini gingerbread men cookies:

Chocolate chip cookies with sprinkles:

Snowball Cookies with mini chocolate chips:

Brown Sugar and Spice Cookies with cardamom glaze:

Maple Star cookies:

White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cookies:

Coffee Cookies:

And Brownie Bites with chocolate drizzle:

And that was it for the new ones– but I didn’t remove any old ones from my list.

Which brought it to 26 different types of desserts, cookies, and chocolates.

Too much???

But I did cut down on the time for hot cocoa– I made cute little bags instead of full kits:

And I was done with all my goodies by Thanksgiving!!

So why was it that I still had no time and was stressing out during the last 2 weeks before Christmas?

I hadn’t even started shopping for presents or finished decorating!

One of my sons said it was because it takes so long to prep cookie plates for people:

That’s true, I made about 50 different plates, and it takes a while to take 21 kinds of cookies out from all the individual containers.

And I have to make a few plates at a time on different days because there’s no time to deliver them all at once.

What I can’t figure out is how to do it quicker!

Could that be the issue?

Or is it because I do a ridiculous amount of stuff?

I’ll figure it out someday!!

Maybe next year… as I always say. 🙂

For now, here is some Chex Mix my family made together:

And that’s it for this year.

Hope you enjoyed your holidays!!
