Happy Day 10 of Holly Jolly Bingo! We have entered the double digits of days. :) And here are the day ten words:
Does your family send out Christmas cards each year? I am trying to get some cards ready to send out this year to both Eric's side and mine as well. Still lots to go!
And do you make Christmas cookies every year? So far this year, I've made a batch of cookies to take into Eric's coworkers, and then I just made another batch yesterday. I still need to make some more traditional cut-out cookies or something, though. 
The kind I made yesterday were called Orange Creamsicle Cookies, but I didn't have the white chocolate chips it called for - time to substitute semisweet chips! They still taste good, I like the combo of orange and chocolate. :)
Presents are interesting this year - suddenly my family has doubled! :) Eric and I had a wrapping party last night and got a large portion of our presents all ready for next week. Fun! There are still a few items on their way here, but I think the majority of our shopping is done as well. How about you - are your presents all set for your celebration next Friday?

Phew! That was close...I only needed like ten more words...and about ten more days.
At least I won't have to remember to check the words @ 5 AM CA time.
BUT, if memory serves, I thought that the game went longer the last couple of years before anyone won.
Congrats to the winners! It's been fun.
Thanks, Sarah, and the Girotti fam for another fun year.

Thank you for another fun round of HJB, Sarah, and congrats to the winners. :)
Oh my droolin' tastebuds, those cookies look delicious! I'd never heard of them until today, but I've already found a recipe that I'm going to try. Thanks for sharing. Love your measuring cup set and the blue shaker, too. I have a set of lg. blue salt and pepper shakers that I keep near the stove for season while I'm cooking.
Wishing you and all your family a wonderful and joyous Christmas season!

Congratulations to the winners!!! It was another fun year...oh the suspense! :)
Love the quilt on your bed Sarah, was that one of the block-of-the-months you and your mom did with Patch Work Plus?
Looks like you guys are enjoying the holidays. Have a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate our Lord's birth. Hugs to you!

Congratulations to the winners. Are any of those presents on that bed for me??:) Haven't wrapped a thing yet but almost all the shopping is done. Plan to do a little more to finish tomorrow.
Those cookies look great!

Mmm the cookies look good! I've thought about making a biscotti with those flavors, semi sweet chocolate & orange... Saw a recipe years ago. Thanks for sharing your pictures. I'm almost finished shopping, except for my dad. I will probably try to shop early next week, hopefully the stores won't be too crowded! Hope you all have a merry Christmas 🎄
