Well, folks...it's that time of year again. I can't believe it but Thanksgiving is just about upon us and then of course Christmas. These days sure are busy for our family with Christmas programs at church and school, Holiday concerts and parties etc... I thought it would be fun for all of my friends, followers, readers, newbies and lurkers to get together and SHARE their favorite holiday recipes, decorating ideas, craft ideas and traditions. Yes, of course, we all have our favorite recipes or traditions that we will always have as a family but it would be fun to hear about others too! You might just find something new that you could try or you could give someone else a great new idea!! Even though this swap is called Have a Holly Jolly Christmas recipe swap...your favorites for Thanksgiving are also welcome!! {until Thanksgiving anyway}
