Wow! Those are awesome, thanks for sharing and getting some more ideas out there!

Judy, since I am definitely not graphic-capable, I need to ask your help with this. If you decide not to, that's fine, I'll make do with the beautiful wish list you created. There are some, however, who try to not incorporate Santa into the Christmas celebration. Would it be possible to change the graphic of Santa to something more generic? The picture of the girl is darling, and, though it could be taken as an elf, it could also just be a girl dressed up for Christmas, so that's fine.

Again, if you prefer to leave it as is, it's no problem. I doubt anyone would be terribly offended, as it's just too cute!

Thanks for your consideration-

Thanks so much for the great ideas. I took the liberty of "borrowing" the Santa's Helper letter and put it in a publisher file. Hope it reaches you all and you can borrow it too!

Hey Kelly your version is really neat, copying is the best form of flattery. *Note, you mentioned last week in November twice in the same sentence. Just proofreading for you.
LOL seems alot of us do that here!

I posted mine in jpeg, thinking nobody used publisher. silly me.

I just want to say that I am new to this and will be using some form of this idea at Christmas time. My daughter is a competitive cheerleader that competes begining in October. Right around early November; I am going to have all the mom's create a wish list and give it to their husbands. I see them every weekend so I'm hoping to get orders out of that. Awesome idea!!!

Here's some of my Christmas wishlist files.
Enjoy!

Unable to open as well. Would love to see it larger. Looks great from the pic that I see. Great job!

pc_jessica · 08-26-2009, 02:03 PM

so when will you guys start advertising this at your shows??? do you think it is too early to be doing this at our sept. shows???

raebates · 08-26-2009, 04:07 PM

I start talking Christmas at my September shows. It seems early to most, but September 1 is only 115 before Christmas. The time goes quickly, and we have things for most people on their lists.

ChefMary412 · 08-26-2009, 04:29 PM

I already have one Nov. show booked... we are going to do a class type thing. We are making the cranberry bark and showing how PC can help with edible and inexpensive gift.s

lmradlein · 08-29-2009, 10:22 PM

Bump ~~~was any one able to get this in word?

Lisa/ChefBear · 08-29-2009, 11:44 PM

I will probably show the peppermint brownie pops from the holiday desserts cookbooks. It uses the mini muffin tin that I think EVERYONE should have!!!

ChefBeckyD · 08-30-2009, 08:22 AM

I will be featuring Holiday Shows at my Fall Preview tomorrow night.

I'm wearing my Snowman Apron, and using the Snowman Tablecloth, and will using the Cookie Press and talking about making gifts in the kitchen.

For the past two years, I have done the Cranberry Crunch Bark, and shown people how to make the little crunch "tree" and wrap it as a gift, and then also how to make the pretzel wreaths. That has been a fun show. It's the only show where I do a dessert, and that is the Peanut Butter Cup Trifle from Janet. I have the ingredients all ready, and just assemble it in a couple of minutes, to also show them a showstopper dessert that can be assembled quickly. (as long as your brownie has been prebaked!)
This has been a hugely popular show!
I'm hoping that with the new Cookie Press, I can feature that more this year and do some fun Cookie Exchange Shows!

zmom58 · 08-30-2009, 01:30 PM

Wonder what great Christmas ideas HO will come up with this year. Last years Holiday catalog was great. Do they come out soon? It seems like last year we couldn't order them until October 1st.

I started talking about Christmas at my August 19th show. Thanks to the new apron and tablecloth, it got many people's attention. Especially when I gave each of them a mini-catalog as a sneak peek!

I used my own version of the Santa's Helper and will be sending out via email and mail (only to those that don't have email). Anyone who returns it to me by November 1st and has an order placed for them will receive this season's Season Best Cookbook.

Hopefully things will be fantastic!

Porchechef · 09-11-2009, 08:44 PM

Thank you guys for the tips! I am going to try this at my next show which is on tues. I will post my results.

Suzy Englert · 09-23-2009, 06:04 PM

Does anyone have a Christmas gift idea list updated for 2009?

Thanks!
