Holiday baking?

Are you doing any holiday baking?

I'm going to make this casserole for breakfast on Christmas morning:

I'm baking a batch or two of these cookies (my favorite for a few years now!)

I think I'm going to try these biscotti, except I'll use Trader Joe's peppermint trader o's instead of oreos.

I can't find the recipe right now, but I'm going to try to make homemade chocolate peppermint syrup to add to our coffee/hot chocolate on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

ETA: I found the recipe:

I'll probably also make sugar cookies to decorate and leave some out for Santa.

Anyone else want to share?

I'll have to see where I am. If we're at my parents' house I'll have to buy most of the ingredients to make anything. My Ma rarely cooks anymore and when she does, it's Asian food. She's a good cook, but never makes any foods from other cultures.

Well I'm not sure if I'll even get around to it, but I would love to make these mini apple pies:

I would also like to make some of Shauna's Hot Chocolate on a Stick!

I think I will make some cookies next week. I think plain sugar cookies with fun icing. I want to let Oliver help decorate cookies this year even though it will be a messy disaster, I think it would be fun and he will definitely enjoy it.

I am also working on my menu for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This is what I am thinking so far:

Christmas Eve-
Some sort of yummy appetizer
Steamed clams
Lobsters

Christmas Morning-
Eggs
Bacon
Pancakes?
Banana Bread?
Fruit Salad

Christmas Day-
Ham (I have been debating between ham or turkey)
This is as far as I've gotten...hahaha.

The kids and I made sugar cookies tonight though we'll be making more before Christmas so that we have some left for Santa I let them go wild with whatever sugar chrystals and icing they want on their two cookies and they LOVE it!

Other than that, I'm not planning much
