As the holidays creep in, we start to think about gifts. One of my favorite gifts to give are delectable sweet treats, and this year is no different. I have started the search for what candies & cookies to make this year for my friends and family. Would you like to share any of your favorite treats? Here are a few of mine.

1. Buckeyes
2. Dark Chocolate Cherry Truffles
3. Mint Chocolate Fudge
4. White Chocolate Cashew Drops covered in Milk Chocolate
5. Holiday Chocolate Bark with pistachio's and cranberries (My Mom's favorite)
6. Thin Mint Cookies
7. Carmel Pecan Bites
8. White Chocolate Chex Mix
9. Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels
10. Eggnog Snickerdoodles

I could go on...but I should stop myself. Which ones should I choose?

With one holiday down and two more to go, the Gals of Sashay are finding themselves very busy indeed. However, we did find some time over the Thanksgiving holiday to put on our "Betty Crocker" face and have some some fun in the kitchen. Here are a few tips we picked up after this years Thanksgiving weekend with our families.

1. Allow your family to only stay a week or less
2. Never start a home repair project over the holidays
3. Have family events planned for the holiday weekend
4. Start preparing food before Thanksgiving day to save you time and stress
5. Get family involved and have them prepare some of the Thanksgiving dishes
6. Go around the table and find out what everyone is thankful for
7. Eat a lot of food and save room for dessert (my favorite part to eat and make)
8. Find time to relax
9. Enjoy the leftovers
10. Wish your family safe travels home and get ready for Christmas
