    Before I cook I fill my sink up with hot soapy water. That way as pots get dirty, they can be soaking. Works really well.

    I got some wooden dowels and painted them white and attached then to my wall with command hooks so I can display my wrapping paper on the wall with another command hook for the scissors I can change out the wrapping paper depending on the season I love it cheap and easy wrapping station!

    I wrap everything, including gifts to me. Since' I'm doing all that work, I do what works for me. So I keep a bag on the back of our bedroom door with the tags, a pair of scissors, tape, and bows. We have bookshelves in the bedroom, so I keep the paper rolls up there where the kids won't get into them. I just buy the bags as we need them, I do more of the boxes and wrapping. Extra boxes I keep up with the rolls of paper.

      @@gabydoss2027 You miss understood my comment. I don't care if it perfect. My 4 yr old was helping just yest. My point was if I don't wrap them then they won't be wrapped. If I dont put something in my stocking then there won't be anything and every one else's will. I do not care about perfection. My daughter would be curious as to why 🎅 fills everyone's stocking but mine though. It isn't a big deal I was just agreeing with OP.

It took me about 3 days this year and now the mess is up. I was stressing bad at the mess. BTW, all my kids are moved out now. Used to be in my room, the night before Christmas. Lol.

Even the two Sam's clubs in my area are out of stock, as well as every grocery store around here! So I had to buy a few of the movie theater boxes of the red and green ones for my cookies.

    Oh no, looks like someone got peckish on the drive to deliver your food order🙊
    I don’t like wasting food either, which is exactly why I no longer do grocery pickup (or deliveries).. too many times I’ll get half rotten fruit or veggies. I don’t understand how someone fulfills the order with molding strawberries or brown lettuce and not notice or care. Then I end up going back to the store and waiting in the customer service line for a refund or I throw the item away.
    Either way, I’ve decided it’s just best for me to go inside myself and get the job done correctly.

    I grew up on Italian cookies but mine look a lot different than yours. Also never had them with lemon and we use a much thicker icing.
    My immediate family loves anise but everyone else doesn’t ( cousins, aunt, uncles and grandma). They use vanilla instead. Imo they aren’t the same with vanilla and don’t taste good with it. We also do a chocolate chip with anise.
    I find it interesting that anise supposedly tastes like black licorice. I don’t think it does at all.

    Making your Moms Italian cookies for New Years can you use oil instead of shortening ?

    Can you make the Italian cookie dough and freeze before baking?

    Hi there! Do you make a copy of your family photo for each envelope and if yes, do you tape it in or just slide it in?
