Well I finally got to baking, like you Sue I have not felt good lately and my nerves are shot. I guess I will get through the holidays, all the " racket " noise gets to me. It is a time for family so I will have to relax with help and enjoy it.
I baked all day today and my santa delivered my goodies next door. It was an enjoyable day after I got myself settled down. Maranda was changing her fish bowl in the bathroom and I told her to not drop the rocks back in, well guess what happen, she broke the bowl and I dont have anything to put the fish in now. Tomorrow I will have to find something. We will make do until then.
Well I got started, fixed breakfast and begin making cookies, breads,candy, it has been an all days job.
First I made pumpkin bread then mincemeat bread and got all that in the oven to bake. I made small loafs , muffins and regular loaves. Then I made a batch of skillet cookies and almond bark peanut butter candy. Got them finished one at a time then I made a batch of Amish cookies. something about them was not quite right but they was real good just not quite as crunchy. By that time my bread was ready to all be taken our of the oven. I had already removed the small loaves and had them cooling on the racks. Yesterday I made 2 batches of almond roaka. One batch was great the other one the butter seperated, I don't know why it was the same kind of butter. That batch looks different but taste real good. I bet it will be eat.
I begin to put my plates together for the assisted living home next door so my santa claus could make his delivery. I place some of the candy in baking cups to help keep them divided. I made 13 plates. I used a real pretty christmas paper plate
Coy put his santa suit on and here he went. He really looked good and I sure the elderly people really enjoyed it to see santa coming to their door. When he returned he needed 2 more plates so Maranda put them together for me. He wrote down the # of the apartment where no one was home. So he will try again tomorrow. I'm glad he will do things like that for me. 
So glad I got that job over with, even though I enjoy it, it is very tiring and lots of work. Next year I will probable do loafs of bread. They appreciate it so much. It was so cold today, not above freezing so a good day to bake.
Good night everyone and have a blessed day tomorrow

That's one skinny Santa!!! What a special thing for you to do.
That is so special. I know he enjoyed it.
Remember we have few times like this left so make each moment count. Remember each roar of laughter and each big hug and smile.
Make this a Christmas to remember/
