Christmas is coming......

I had a dream last night that it was Christmas day.  Do you ever wake up in the morning slightly disoriented and unable to figure out what day it is?  I am pretty sure that I had the Christmas dream because it has been on my mind.  For Mother's Day my kids gave me a magazine called Paper made Easy.  It has some very cute gift ideas and I started thinking about Christmas.  Typically I give all of my kids Sunday school teachers, Word of Life Club leaders and a few others at church a food gift.  Well since I will have a newborn I really have been thinking about what I can do to get a head start on that.  What can I make this year that I can do in the summer and have all ready for that time of the year.  With 7 children they have a lot of teachers!  Thankfully we homeschool or I would be VERY overwhelmed with school teachers too!
The last several years I have given a White Chocolate Chex mix. Everyone raves about it and it is so easy...however, this year I just don't think I am going to feel like making batch after batch of it.  So, I am on a quest for new (long storing) and inexpensive gift ideas.  I may end up making dip mixes which I have done for some of my friends.  I could make them ahead...I just need to figure out a great packaging idea.

As of right now there are 228 days until Christmas.  Check this out
