Inside, I keep all the important fall and winter holiday information -- favorite recipes, fun traditions, and big goofs. And at the back of the book, there's a list of gifts given (and the year of gift) to family and friends, if those gifts are part of a set that I want to continue (so I know what I've given and what they still need).
For now, my Holiday Book keeps me organized. All my recipes are in one place. No hunting down recipes in different cookbooks.
I can turn the preparation for a dish over to one of my kids and they know exactly where to find that recipe.
Basically, my Holiday Book simplifies the organizational aspects of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, and allows me to have more time for the joy of the holidays.
Some day, this will get passed on to one of my kids. They can relive our family memories, laugh over funny stories, and prepare the recipes that have been handed down in our family for generations.
