Christmas baking planning

[toadnae]

It seems a bit early to be planning this, but I'm the designated baker in my family. I have a terrible tendency to over-commit myself, so I'm trying to avoid that this year.  I'll confess that I can't wait for next year, when I will have a chest freezer and can start nicely ahead of time! 

Must have items: 
Shortbread
Great-Aunt Lina's bread
Cranberry bread
Banana-Apricot bread
Caramels
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Cornflake Wreaths

Really want items: 
Lemon cream
Candy cane cookies
Carol's mint brownies 
Mint Meringues

Nice to have: 
Good sugar cookies, decorated
Root beer cookies
Chocolate chip cookies 

I'm probably insane to be contemplating this much, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.  I'd love to add both cardamom bread and julekake to my repertoire.  Then there's krumkake and rosettes. Hello, I'm a compulsive Christmas baker.  The worst part is that I'll do all of this in about 48 hours of just insane baking. This is why I'm so looking forward to getting a freezer I can fight some baking in!

Hello, I'm a compulsive Christmas baker.

I guess so! I haven't decided what/if I'm making for Xmas yet because we don't know exactly where we will be. But I'm really looking forward to this Wed night because I will be making my dinner rolls and pies.

When will the chest freezer be acquired?
