It's the most wonderful time of the year..!

Like many, Christmas is my favorite time of year. With all the beautiful decorations, presents, yummy food, and cheerful people almost anywhere you go, what's not to love? Okay, well maybe I don't love my credit card bill after the holidays are over, but honestly you don't have to spend a lot to have great gifts. One great budget-friendly idea is to bake homemade cookies! You don't have to go crazy, just package them up in cute holiday bags and tie them with ribbon! Delicious and gorgeous!
