Christmas Baking!

The Christmas season is just around the corner, and it's my favorite time of year. I love the music, the smells, the sounds, the way that people all of a sudden seem a littler cheerier. It's wonderful. Last year I went overboard with Christmas baking, partly probably because I was pregnant and nesting, and some of the cookies never got eaten. So this year I am trying to be more selective about what I make. I'm trying to decide what I will make and what I won't.

The last few years I have been making fudge for gifts and for eating. I think I'm going to try and make some yummy chocolate peanut butter layered fudge I saw in a cooking magazine I get. And I plan to make shortbread, because that is Tim's favorite. But other than that, I can't decide. There's yummy icebox cookies, there's almond bark, there's gingerbread, there's these wonderful almond shortbread crescents, mmmmmmmm.....I love Christmas cookies. Oh, and I've already made Christmas cake. But that's more for gift giving....Anyone have some good suggestions for Christmas baking? What is your favorite?
