Cathy, since last year was the first time you did this, I feel I have to warn you!!

Start collecting tins, baskets, plates, etc NOW for next year--I began making cookies and small cakes and candies a few years ago and now just about everyone requests them! Of course, it can be very frugal and it's fun becaue you can personalize---just be aware that you have created a monster lol!!
Welcome to FC, by the way.
