The jam cost practically nothing to make (free fruit, on-sale sugar, jars that cost a nickel each); mailing will run me about eight bucks. I'll also be making and mailing some Christmas cookies.<BR/>People DO love to get homemade stuff. At least my friends and family do, judging from the comments. <BR/>I know that every family is different, and I admit I haven't read your previous entry -- just found this one! But my gut reaction is that you should do what works for you, with respectful but firm explanations of why you're doing things this way.<BR/>If people want to grouse about getting a money makeover book, well, that's their prerogative. <BR/>I hope you have a great Christmas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525334973892331389.post-6057718602376484292008-12-12T09:25:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:25:00.000-05:00Yummy, cranberry biscotti dipped in white chocolat...Yummy, cranberry biscotti dipped in white chocolate! I'm wishing right now that you were my sister-in-law b/c that beats the store bought gifts I get from my current sister-in-law hands down. <BR/><BR/>I have to admit that the peach syrup is REALLY REALLY good. I like watching people put it on their pancakes super thick.
