Ok kids, time to tell. Please visit Crazy Mama to do this meme.
{1} What is your favorite cookie to eat?
I’m gonna have to go with oatmeal raisin on this one, though it isn’t a Christmas cookie. I do really like those traditional Christmas cookies. Publix has some right now and I am always tempted to buy them.
{2} Have you ever done a cookie exchange?
Negative. I’ve done Amish Friendship bread though; you give someone the starter in a bag and it creates a loaf but also other starter for them to pass along.
{3} How are you doing on your holiday shopping?
Pretty good. I would say I have about half the stuff I wanted to get. I’m basically done with the kids except for stocking stuffers, which is one of my favorite parts.
(These are our stockings, but at my parents’ house)
(These are our stockings, but at my parents’ house){4} What is your holiday shopping style? (A little at a time, or power shopper? Early in the season or last minute? Online or part of the crowd?)
I guess I’m a little of all; I like to shop online but then I use lunch breaks to go to places that are typically crowded when most people are off.
And a random seasonal 3 part question…
{5} Light displays…do you put them on your house? What is your style and your fave kind to see?
{5} Light displays…do you put them on your house? What is your style and your fave kind to see?
Yes, we put them on our house and we have the multi-color icicle type and then we put strings around our trees. I’d prefer to have some kind of lighted trees in the yard but I really like tastefully done homes with either one or two colors. Something like the below:

We just don’t do outside lights. We love to look at them though.
I’ve done the Amish bread started exchange too! But no cookie exchanges for me either. I still do lots of baking though! I give most away to friends and co-workers. Looking forward to doing some baking this weekend!
Ohhhh I like the pic of the light display you posted. I wish mine was fabulous like that. Those are my faves to see.
I’m debating making pies oatmeal raisin, those are the hubs favorites. But I never bake them.
Thanks for linking up.
Wow, I’d forgotten all about that Amish Friendship bread! I was kind of obsessed with it for a while. But then I ran out of people to give it to, and it became such a huge commitment! My favorite Amish bread story was from a friend of mine – she had to travel to Brazil to visit family, and took her bread starter with her, so she could feed it! And it exploded inside her suitcase!
