What are you making this christmas?!

Oh gosh. Finally got the gingerbread house and fantasy fudge done today after shopping all day, fighting with the cell phone company, and doctors appointments....

Sure thing! It's SOOOOO good. Not even joking, I hate cherries - yet I absolutely love cherries in the snow. It's one of my most anticipated dishes of the holiday season, right behind fruit salad which I forgot to mention and our yeast rolls.

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (12 oz) tub of whipped topping
8 cups of 1-inch-cubed angel food cake
1 (20 oz) can of cherry pie filling
Package of chopped pecans to garnish

Beat the cream cheese on medium until smooth. Slowly add the sugar until blended. Take out the mixer and fold the whipped topping in.

Place half the cake cubes in a large bowl; top that with half of the cream cheese mixture. Spread half of the cherry pie filling over top. Repeat the layers again. Sprinkle the pecans generously over the top. Cover and chill, serve cold.

Wow, what an amazing selection of different foods. Will I be the only one cooking roast beef with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, Brussell sprouts, carrots and parsnips, followed by traditional Christmas pudding and mince pies?
 
I've made TONS of nonsense this season -
an apron & matching oven mitts for my sister
a quilt for my mother
handknit headbands for my friends
3 rounds of hand knit ornaments for a swap
1 round of ornaments for our tree
blown eggs ornaments with the kids
honey cakes, truffle cookies, and decorator cookies for teachers
pumpkin butter, apple butter, pickles & salsas in jars for friends & family
strawberry syrup & shortcake mix (I picked & canned the strawberries in one day, so it should be summer in a bite or two)
jars of split pea & chicken noodle soups for my musician friends
a knit baby hat
a knit hippo
3 knit soap covers
2 travel mug cozies
1 mohair cowl

and this weekend I will be making:
gingerbread muffins
a roasted goose
hunter pie (rabbit ragu & whipped potatoes)
kale salad
parsnip puree
balsamic glazed carrots
parker house rolls
black forest cake
apple cherry crisp

another round of Christmas cookies
these Bittersweet Chocolate cookies
Fleur de Sel Caramels
Lavender Chocolate dipped Honeycombs
Gingerbread house

So, what am I doing on BYC? I need to drop off goodies to friends on my way to work. I have also made 1,500 cinnamon buns & all our usual desserts at work the last 5 days. This is pie day. "Yay".
