The 4Realers have been talking about to-do lists, so I thought I’d put mine here for accountability purposes LOL:

• Mail the rest of the Christmas cards (7).
• Make coconut milk (there was no canned coconut milk available that didn’t have preservatives).
• Have another attempt at making puto bumbong without special equipment.
• Start the panettone so we have it for Christmas Eve, midnight, or day.
• Make coconut sauce for mussels
• Make empanada filling
• Pack cookies and other food gifts for mailman, our priests, and other friends
• Wrap the rest of the gifts
• Bottle the atsara
• Marinate beef for morcon
• Do laundry
• Read Advent/Christmas books to the kids
• Bake the layers for the Jesus cake
• Buy ingredients for mulled wine, if I still feel like it
• Cook dinner for tonight, and lunch and dinner for tomorrow, and lunch for Monday
• Go to Mass
• Bring the rest of the Christmas decorations upstairs

…. and that’s it for now….

Sunday:

• Maybe bake another kind of cookie or two, just because.
• Start ensaymada
