Mad Mad Mad Madness (of the holiday kind)

Is anyone else totally overwhelmed?  I thought maybe not having a full time job would make all this holiday craziness more doable but I was wrong.

I've been taking orders for and hand-making Hungry Pear gift baskets for holiday gifts and I am around the clock crafting and cooking and baking, which if you know me at all, is no easy task.  Here's a list of this years offerings:  spicy maple rosemary glazed mixed nuts, chili-lime rubbed peanuts, candied bacon almonds, meyer lemon rosemary shortbread (vegan), meyer lemon curd, orange spiced chewy molasses cookies (dairy free), candied dark chocolate dipped orange peels (vegan), raspberry truffles (vegan) & vanilla lavender truffles.  I'm happy to say my sampling is at a minimum and I an end to all the madness is in sight, as we near the big day.  Just a couple more snips and ties and I'm all set for a long, lovely holiday with my family.
