As far as I am concerned, too many hints is taking some of the fun out of the surprise. Just my little opinion.
And home baked goodies....not a good idea in the package sent in Nov, since we don't open till Dec sometime. Last year I got cookies, and when I went to eat them they tasted rancid, had to throw them out. I think last year Terri suggested sending goodies in a separate package close to the opening day. Any other opinions on this????
I was more concerned about a person's reluctance to trust the safety of eating the homemade goodies. For instance, I know people whose baked goods I'm hesitant to eat, because of lack of cleanliness, in preparing food. When I'm cooking/baking, I wash my hands constantly (and dry, on paper towels). Ordinarily, I'm not a 'clean freak' but baking is a totally different story. . . and if I'm at all sick, I do NOT bake. Period.
Also, a diabetic probably would want to stay away from home-baked goodies, due to the sugar content.
The goodies, I have in mind, will last a pretty long time in a sealed container or freezer zip-loc bag.
