It's hard to feel like it's Christmas already when the days between now and Jan 1 are officially working days. I will give an exam on 23 Dec and turns in grades on 27 Dec, but I am trying to keep grading from ruining Christmas.
We also still didn't get a replacement oven (we have been negotiating with the landlord over price they will pay for). (We hope to get one this week.) But no baking yet.
Imagine, for a moment, Christmas without baking.
Finally I realized that the fun part is the making, so today I whipped up homemade play dough (salt/flour/oil, the usual) and tossed in some cinnamon. The cinnamon really removes the salt or doughy smell which play dough often has plus adds a nice Christmasy smell.
E and K had a lot of fun using our Christmas cookie cutters (which we brought with us from America). Nearly fooled A at first when he saw them. We are leaving the results out to dry, in hopes that they will harden in time to bedeck our tree.
