Christmas has been on my mind a lot again…so has our lack of blogging.  So I was browsing old posts and came up with this one…it was interesting, because I don’t think I ever did blog about how we did in 2009…but I know I did for 2010.  I know that we found last year’s gift giving successful (from our perspective) as we managed to be frugal (if I recall about $80 for 12 baskets) and most of the gifts were re-used (baskets), food (homebaked bread) and original (our famous peppermint chocolate bark).  It will be interesting to re-evaluate them this  year in light of our focus on less waster. I will dig up last year’s post tomorrow. In the meantime here is the one from 2009!
