I, however, enthusiastically eat other peoples' baked goods.

I don't want people to suffer my baking.

I prefer backing up ;)

only when someone makes me. today someone is making me make a gingerbread house

As a matter of fact, I have never baked a think for any holiday. I have far more enthusiastic family members to thank for that.

Every morning.

Wife can bake, I can cook. Bad things happen if we go out of our lane.

Also, she is not on Mastodon so I'm safe in sharing this truth... I think 😬

Technically, I bake before the holidays. It has become a tradition, I make a variety of European tea/butter cookies for family and friends and send them off in cookie tins. Usually 4-6 different types each year, the more popular ones are a repeat every year.

Usually but not so far this year! (So thank you very much for the delicious cookies.)

Others are so much better at it and I prefer to support their efforts.

i'm baked right now

but I bake year round so .... I don't think I bake any **more** around the holidays - just different stuff.

There are a lot more people baking during the holidays than I thought. Good for you!

I am a strong yes. I make dozens of cookies for our friends and neighbours. I make fruitcakes and age them in bourbon for months.

I'm intrigued by the Christmas pudding. I might try making one in January and letting it age all year.

@mizblueprint Beautiful!

Riffing off @evan 's poll, just what did you all #bake for the #holidays? Preferably with some background info, because I guess a lot of holiday baking has regional roots.
