Growing up, the run into Christmas involved endless baking of delicious goodies. I've married a man who doesn't particularly like cakes or sweet treats and the DC are the same. Whilst this is no doubt good for their health, it does make me a bit blue at this time of year as there is no point making mounds of food as it just ends up on my hips! Instead, I sat down the other day with Delia's Christmas and other cook books and fantasised about what I'd be doing if I had a gang of children and family members with hearty appetites!
I have limited myself to a Christmas cake (made weeks ago), a cheesecake for Christmas Eve (to be made on the day) and an ice cream loaf thing for Boxing Day (just finished making). The DC will make some gingerbread at some point. We have one box of mince pies I've already eaten the original one and a mini stollen. Make me envious with your baking and other food creations!
