Ali, your baking schedule sounds so familiar! I won't be back in my own kitchen until Dec. 20 (Saturday the 21st, really), but at that point I'll make my traditional recipes. Creme de Menthe squares (a variety of Nanaimo Squares that is to DIE for), rum balls, mocha truffles, Russian wedding cakes, gingerbread, frozen peppermint cheesecake (our traditional Christmas Day dessert). I sometimes steam an actual plum pudding and make some hard sauce for Christmas Day dessert, but I'm the only one who likes it. I also make at least one mince pie or a batch of mince tarts with the knowledge that I'll be the only one appreciating them ... but that's how it goes. Most people hate them, and I try to get people hooked on them.
