Handcrafting Christmas

The Challenge: To have an almost completely handcrafted Christmas in 2011. Everything from gifts to decor to food will be hand made.
Exceptions: A gift for my brother in law who is pretty much impossible to buy for at the best of times. I will try my hardest to find something to make for him but don't blame me if his Christmas gift is a Best Buy gift card like it is every year.
Any decorations that require electronics (ie; lights)will be store bought. I would prefer to not burn down the house.
Gifts for Derek's parents. There are two reasons for this 1) that's his job and 2)if I'm going to hear about how whatever I got them is all wrong anyway I'd rather it not be a gift that I put a lot of time and effort into.
Gifts from Santa will still be store bought. Our kids get one Santa gift and it's usually something they've seen on TV or at the store that they are really set on. Santa is still allowed to shop at Toys R Us.

Due date: Christmas Day 2011
